Match Fixing Clouds over Pakistan team again: The British media back again with more allegations: West indies-Pakistan series to be investigated : Daily Mail ) ! 2nd - 3rd - 5th ODIs are under ACSU radar -| In 2nd ODI, Pakistan fail to score a run off the bat in the first five overs. -| In 3rd ODI, Pakistan appeared to be cruising to victory, with their opponents still requiring 45 off the last 21 balls and only three wickets left. But with the tail-enders scoring at more than four times the rate of most of their team-mates, West Indies scraped the unlikeliest of ties. One betting website reported unusually large sums of money — said to run into several millions of pounds — being wagered between innings on this tied result. Field placings for the final over, when No 11 Jason Holder and fellow tail-ender Kemar Roach crashed 14 off six balls from Wahab Riaz, will be scrutinised by officers of the ICC Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU), along with a failed run-out bid off the last delivery. -| In 5th ODI, West Indies scored only 1 run off the first 18 balls. ACSU officers also analyses patterns on spread-betting sites around the first 18 balls of the West Indies innings. Another passage of play, between the 29th and 34th overs, when experienced West Indies batsmen Chris Gayle and Marlon Samuels were at the crease, will also be analysed in an effort to understand why just two runs were scored from five overs before 16 were hit off the 35th over. Pakistan won the match by four wickets off the last ball. The ICC are expected to request more detailed information from legitimate bookmakers to try to identify potential wrong-doing surrounding West Indies v Pakistan, though with many online firms registered offshore for tax purposes, they are not obliged to provide information on their customers’ activity. The ICC’s anti-corruption unit were approached for an official statement but replied: ‘It is our policy not to comment on any investigation, ongoing or otherwise.’ Betfair declined to comment, while a Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman said: ‘We have no knowledge of an ICC investigation.’ The West Indies Board were unavailable for comment.
