Comical dismissals in a UAE Ajman All Stars T20 cricket match overnight have prompted an ICC investigating into alleged match fixing.
The suspect fixture was held in the four-team, private tournament between Dubai Star and Sharjah Warriors. The match consisted of some outrageous-appearing wickets, with Dubai Star managing only 46 runs chasing a target of 136.
From 10 wickets, 5 were stumpings and 3 runouts, including a diamond duck (a run out before facing a delivery).
Match footage emerged, to the public condemnation from many on social media.

"The ICC ACU works to uphold integrity in cricket, and in keeping with that role, we are talking to players and officials and will not make any further comment at this time."
