India vs Pakistan semi finals of world cup 2011 was a clean match

Reacting sharply to a British newspaper claim that the India-
Pakistan semifinal in the 2011 cricket World Cup may have been fixed,
the ICC on Monday dismissed the claim as "spurious". ICC also
dismissed the
claim that it was investigating the semifinal match. "The story carried by the
newspaper, in which it has claimed that the ICC is investigating the
ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 semifinal
between India and Pakistan, is baseless and misleading," ICC CEO
Haroon Lorgat said in a statement.
"The ICC has no reason or evidence to require an investigation into this match."
ICC asserted that the Indo-Pak clash was clean and the 2011
World Cup was one of the most successful World Cup organised
so far.
"It is indeed sad for spurious claims to be made which only serve to
cause doubt on the semi-final of one of the most
successful ICC Cricket World Cups ever," Lorgat said. Earlier,
allegations that the World Cup semifinal was fixed were also rubbished
by players and those associated with the game even as the Bollywood
actress at the centre of the fresh controversy threatened to sue a
British newspaper which carried the report. Former Indian captain
Sourav Ganguly found little substance in the report published in a
London newspaper Sunday Times.
