According to Hawkins the bookie was in contact with Pakistani cricketers and claimed that he was in contact with Pakis through an Indian actress.
The bookie has claimed that Pakistan would loose the match with the margin of more than 20 runs while India will make 260+ runs and their first three wickets will fall with in 15 overs and Pakistan will make 100 runs and their two wickets will fall quickly.
On the other hand ICC has rejected Hawkins report by declaring that ICC will not act on heard reports with out any proof.
Three Pakistan players, Muhammad Aamir, Muhammad Aasif and Salman Batt were already convicted and jailed on match fixing charges this year.
