Pak T20 match under scrutiny
A match in Pakistan's domestic Twenty20 competition last month is under scrutiny over allegations of foul play and under-performance by some players, an official said.
Karachi Zebras lost the Super Eight tournament game by 31 runs against a weakened Peshawar Panthers side missing injured star Pakistan paceman Umar Gul. The win lifted Peshawar to the semifinal and relegated Karachi.
"I myself felt some foul-play and several players under-performed so the manager of the team has submitted a report in which he has advised investigation," Siraj Bukhari, president of the Karachi City Cricket Association (KCCA), told AFP on Thursday.
Bukhari did not say whether players under-performed for money but said a committee will investigate and submit a report to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
