A message on WhatsApp that has recently gone viral suggests the ICC World Cup 2015 is, in fact, a fixed tournament. The message revealed the outcomes for every fixture in the tournament - so far, all have come true.

According to the report initially put out by Times of India, India will lose to both South Africa and Zimbabwe.

The reason why the list does have some merit is because it picked Ireland upsetting West Indies in their first match. But when was the list officially leaked? That definitely plays a factor in whether or not we all believe if this really is fixed. India is projected to defeat New Zealand in the quarterfinal and then lose to Australia in the semifinal. Australia will defeat Zimbabwe in another quarterfinal, while South Africa will defeat England.

The leaked message shows that South Africa will defeat host nation Australia in the finals to win their first World Cup.

We'll all find out on March 29 whether or not this leaked message is, in fact, fact or fiction.
