Cricket has had a number of controversies relating to players being involved with the betting aspects of the game. In particular, numerous players have been approached by bookmakers and bribed to, throw matches, aspects of matches (e.g. the toss) or provide other information.
Games that are deliberately lost are sometimes called thrown games. When a team intentionally loses a game, or does not score as high as it can, to obtain a perceived future competitive advantage (for instance, earning a high draft pick) rather than gamblers being involved, the team is often said to have tanked the game instead of having thrown it.
So, Is India vs Pakistan Semi Final World Cup 2011 Match Fixed? Was there match fixing already there between India vs Pakistan semifinal match at 2011 WC?
After India won the match, there are many rumors coming on India and Pakistan team regarding match fixing for world cup semi final match on 30th march 2011.
Based on following point people are assuming match has been already fixed:
- Missing 5 catches of master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.
- Poor fielding , no good & Irresponsible shot by Pakistani player.
- Shahid Adridi didn't take power play at his time.
- Bad Umpiring decisions.
Is this correct? Was there really match fixing done?
As far as my opinion....
"With all those Millions paid to the super star cricketers to Indian players (and the clouds of recent spot fixing of some Pakistani players) nobody from the Indian team would give a damn to bookies even if they paid 10 times of their earnings. At least not in this world cup where the most expectations and pressure is on Indian team than any other team."
The Truth so far....
U would find the detail information.

I don't think the match was fixed. It was high-stakes event for both teams! More pride involved than greed...
Hey Anonymous ... plz go through the link i have provided to know the truth...U will get ur answer.
When there is fire, somke must curle up upwards in the sky or rather when there is smoke, there must be fire somewhere. The disclosure made by the Sunday Times is serious indeed. I like millions of Indians had watched the semi-final match sitting on the stone steps of the Ganges at Haridwar where zealous cricket fans hd installed a TV. At that time all those who were watching the match had gone into raptures when a catch, then catches were dropped by Pak fielders one after another. But now one feels like thinking in another way. One cannot forget what Pak captain, Shahid Afridi, had said after the match that Pakistan deserved to win the semi-final match and be in the final. One just shudders even to contemplate about the involvement of any Indian cricketer but the ICC should make a thorough investigation into the matter. Winning World Cup and being champions is a great honour but it should be won the hard way and not by the mercy or magnanimity of others. Besides, BCCI had bestowed great largess on the members of the winning team and they were welcomed back as heroes who had brought honour to the country. The very though that the the match that too semi-final one was 'fixed' is loathsome. Let the truth noting but the truth come out.
