Pakistan match-fixing claims: the mystery of Pakistan’s two slow overs

The investigations by the International Cricket Council’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit into a betting scam during the third one-day international between England and Pakistan at the Oval on Friday are believed to focus on a two-over segment in which surprisingly few runs were scored.

 

The passage of play involving the 39th and 40th overs of Pakistan’s innings appear to invite closer scrutiny.Illegal betting in India on limited-overs games concentrates on blocks of 10 overs. The punter is invited to go above or below the number of runs which the bookmaker specifies for a 10-over sequence
