Well Ritesh, I think it is irresponsible, and very unfair on the players, to make claims that the match was fixed.
One thing that is true is that, the only way for twenty20 to catch up is, for India winning the world cup, and nothing better than beating pakistan in the final. With India having won the cup, suddenly twenty20 becomes a format of the game that has to be taken seriously, because India takes it seriously. Ofcourse, India has to take it seriously to gain any respect for this triumph. Also, from now on, twenty20, is commercially viable and will stay, something that the ICC would want. I am not sure this would have happened is India lost in the first round.
However, pulling off such a fix officially is impossible and I don't think bookies have anything to gain in making the future of twenty20 secure. In short, it is highly improbable we saw a fixed tournament or match.
