British journalist, Ed Hawkins has reiterated that the semifinal world cup match between India and Pakistan was fixed and added that the International Cricket Council (ICC) should investigate to extract the truth.

Earlier, a British newspaper had published extracts of a book by Hawkins in which he claimed an Indian bookmaker had accurately predicted what would happen in Pakistan's innings against their arch-rivals.

Talking to Asian News International (ANI) in London, Hawkins said that Pakistan's fall on wickets in that match seemed unbelievable, further raising concerns over the semifinal's sanctity.

Hawkins added that domestic cricket is at danger and most vulnerable because of improper monitoring.
