ICC’s anti-corruption unit will investigate the charges of match-fixing in the semi-final match between Pakistan and New Zealand.
Talking to Pakistan TV channel Geo News, Chairman Jamshed Ahmed Dasti said that the national cricket team lost the match to New Zealand deliberately.
The dropped catch by Pakistani skipper Younus Khan of Grant Elliott is one of the incidents under scanner. However, Younus has denied dropping the ball deliberately, but conceded that the dropped catch cost his team the Champions Trophy semi-final tie in Johannesburg on Saturday.
The Pakistan captain also admitted that he missed the catch because he was trying to protect a fractured finger.
