Has spot fixing taken place in the cricket league where famous players from all over the world are playing? Is there match fixing in the league where many players sold for crores of rupees are playing in IPL 2025? This question is because some such pictures related to that league have come which indicate that such incidents have happened not once but thrice. Cricket is called a gentleman's game but Abu Dhabi T10 is under question regarding its gentleman image. The 3 pictures from there of 3 players bowling no balls in 3 matches seem to be giving rise to many questions at this time? Is it right to organize Abu Dhabi 10 League? Shouldn't ICC take cognizance of this league? Will those 3 players be banned?
Now you must be wondering, what are those 3 pictures of no balls, which seem to be rekindling the ghost of spot fixing? No Ball The first picture is of the match played between Samp Army and New York Strikers in Abu Dhabi T10 on 22 November. In this match, Pakistan-born UAE bowler Hazrat Bilal Bowling bowled a long no ball, for which he was heavily criticized on social media and questions were raised about spot-fixing in Abu Dhabi T10.
The second picture of no ball was seen in the match played between Bangla Tigers and Delhi Bulls on 25 November. Here the no ball happened not because of over-stepping but because of the high height of the ball of Afghanistan bowler Naveen-ul-Haq. Bangla Tigers needed 41 runs in 12 balls to win, after which Naveen, who came to bowl, gave 29 runs in his over which was the 9th over of the innings of Bangla Tigers. Naveen bowled a wide and a no ball in this over, full advantage of which was taken by Livingston who scored a half-century in 15 balls in the match.
The third picture is also of the match played between Bangla Tigers and Delhi Bulls on 25 November. Where Sri Lankan bowler Dasun Shanka gave 30 runs on the first 3 balls of his single over. This is because apart from those 3 legal balls, he bowled 4 no balls. Meaning, as many no-balls are bowled in a T10 or T20 match, he bowled them in just one over.
