All around the world, there are big gamblers who bet a LOT of money on sport, including football and cricket. Not just on the final result, but on things like the first goal scorer in a football match, or the highest individual scorer in a cricket match. Many millions of pounds are gambled on these games worldwide, so a few people stand to win or lose vast sums.
"Match fixing" is a crime that involves illegally influencing the outcome of a match so that it favours your bet. In other words the result , or maybe something that happens during the match, is "fixed" even before the match begins, so that you know in advance that your bet will win. Fixing can be done in different ways.. but is mainly done by either bribing individual players or referees with cash or gifts, or simply by threatening them or their family with violence.
In football, it has happened a lot recently in Italy and South America. There have been several accusations of it in England. but it has only been legally proved once, in a famous case in 1965 that led to three Sheffield Wednesday players being banned for life. http://observer.guardian.co.uk/osm/story/0,,1677745,00.html
In cricket, it is traditionally rare but accusations of match fixing have increased in the last twenty years, the most well known being the scandal involving former South Africa captain, Hansie Cronje. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/709496.stm
And yes, if the Pakistan team were proved beyond any doubt to have deliberately thrown the match for money, then that would certainly be match fixing.

If the Pakistani players were bribed to play badly and lose to Ireland that could be seen as match fixing. I presume you've heard the rumours that Bob Woolmer had heard something about this, and was going to report it; hence those responsible had him killed. Vile.

match fixing is when the result of the match is already decided by the teams in return of which they get money i.e the winning team pays the losing team.

They decide who's going to win before the game starts......It's the same as boxing,they will pretend to be knocked out when they haven't been. They will get money for this.
