Michael Vaughan casts Pakistan's defeat in 3rd ODI as suspicious, deletes tweet later
Former England captain Michael Vaughan commented on the fashion of Pakistan’s capitulation in front of England in the 3rd ODI, but retracted his suspicions after the social media swooped on the comment.
After being in a comfortable position in the 3rd ODI in the 30-over mark, the Pakistan batting order collapsed after a few rash shots and misunderstandings between running partners. The team finally were bowled out for a humble score of 208, which was chased down by England in 41 overs.
What makes Vaughan’s act of casting suspicion even more interesting is that he deleted his tweets on the matter later. He was not quick enough to escape the attention of irate Pakistani fans, however, who have come up with proof of the claims.

Vaughan was subjected to several queries on the matter, one of which he replied to, in equally enigmatic fashion.
