Description: An investigation into a T20 match between Canada and New Zealand has uncovered potential match-fixing tied to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. This "mafia-style" group is suspected of coercing selection boards to install specific players, like captain Dilpreet Bajwa, for financial gain. Jeremy Zakis explains that T20 games are easier to fix than five-day matches because results happen in a single day and poor performance is easier to disguise as a "bad day."
