Lol, that match was far from fixed. India realized they couldn't reach the target and batted the overs out. A boring end as they should've just tried, the close(ish) loss also shouldn't hit their NRR too badly. Well played Stokes, certainly a contender for player of the tournament. Lad doesn't let any pressure get to him when he's at the crease.

This game doesn't affect the final four? So just a good game? No pressure on anyone to perform, should be fun.

Haha. Yeah, having a good chuckle at the amount of tinfoil hattery here. India in damage limitation mode as far as NRR is concerned.

I work in sports betting, I've also investigated several fixed matches in the past. I watched the match and saw no signs of match fixing...England were favourites heading into the match and after their innings were even heavier favourites. Remember also this is ODI cricket, not T20.

I'll eat your tin foil hat if this match was fixed.

Giant fly swatter, for when the ball is heading right for him, he thinks he is Captain America, and will be able to use this shield before a ball hits him
