India whip West Indies DHAKA: India’s spinners wreaked havoc on the West Indies batting to rout the defending champions by sev- en wickets in the World Twenty20 Super-10 group two match in Dhaka yesterday. The West Indies, sent in to bat, managed only 129-7 as leg-spinner Amit Mishra claimed two for 18 in four overs, Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets and Ravichandran Ashwin picked up one. India strolled past the modest target with two deliv- eries to spare as Virat Kohli made 54 off 41 balls and Rohit Sharma remained unbeaten on a fluent 62. The pair put on 106 for the second wicket after left- hander Shikhar Dhawan was trapped leg-before by spinner Samuel Badree off the fifth ball of the innings.

The opinions expressed in these articles are those of the authors and do not represent the views of INTERPOL or its employees. INTERPOL Integrity in Sport Bi-Weekly Bulletin 17-30 March 2020 INVESTIGATIONS Pakistan PCB Charges Umar Akmal for Breaching Anti-Corruption Code Controversial Pakistan batsman Umar Akmal has been charged on Friday for two separate breaches of the Pakistan Cricket Board's Anti-Corruption Code. Umar, who was provisionally suspended on February 20 and barred from playing for his franchise, Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League, has been charged for failing to disclose corrupt approaches to the PCB Vigilance and Security Department (without unnecessary delay). If found guilty, Akmal could be banned from all forms of cricket for anywhere between six months and life. He was issued the charge sheet on March 17 and has been given time to respond until March 31. This was a breach under 2.4.4 for PCB's anti- corruption code. A Troubled Career Umar, 29, has had a chequered career since making his debut in August, 2009 and has since just managed to play 16 Tests, 121 ODIs and 84 T20 internationals for his country despite making a century on Test debut. His last appearance came in last October during a home T20 series against Sri Lanka and before that he also played in the March- April, 2019 one-day series against Australia in the UAE.
