- It's match day. Mavericks vs Hurricanes. Dhawan's grand plan is finally coming together. However, the smallest cog in the wheel can upset the best laid plans.
- Betting is a big market. There are all types of bookies, big and small. They each have their own markets, and their own circles. Each bookie serves a bigger bookie. The betting business in India is illegal and disorganized. It works like clockwork. People make their bets with bookies against the odds offered. They bet on outcomes of games, players, overs, scores and every other conceivable event in a match. Even the toss. If you know the result in advance, you can use the odds in your favor. India is the biggest betting market of the world There is a 8 seconds delay between the live and TV telecast, which bookies take advantage of. In those 8 seconds, bookies change the odds slightly to increase their margins. Every game gets bets of 10,000 crores or more.
Vikrant gets 4 investors and offers them a chance to invest in the game he has fixed. This includes Pathak (Karam Chandani), Shah (Himanshu), and 2 more. He offers 100% returns, but wont allow everyone to invest in his venture. He wants each of them to transfer 25 crores to an offshore bank account right then, as seed capital. Vikrant now starts betting on specific outcomes. He predicts the over in which Raghunath will be out and bets rs 20 crores on it, and makes it into 50 crores. Mavericks are 82/2 in 12 overs with Arvind at the crease. Anees gets out under 25, as predicted. Vikrant is using 100's of bookies across the world to make his bets and none of it can be traced back to him.
Vikrant is still clear that he does not control the outcome of the match. Arvind helps the Mavericks get to 158. Arvind brings Prashant to bowl by the 5th over of the innings. Devender asks Prashant to bowl a no-ball in the over. Prashant bounces the batsmen 2 balls in a row and has them rattled. Devender goes down to threatening Prashant and says he will never play a game again, if he doesn't bowl a no-ball. Prashant continue to throw down an excellent over and yorks the batsmen out on the last ball. Vikrant is baffled. He has lost 10 crores on this little battle on the field.
Devender come on to bowl. He has to concede more than 12 runs in the over and he concedes 13. Vikrant investors are assured, but they question Vikrant's 100% guarantee of an assured outcome. Vikrant tells Pritish to call Niranjan and ask for Devender and Prashant to bowl 3 of the last 4 over. Prashant to concede 15 runs or more in one of the overs. Niranjan convinces Arvind to bowl Devender for 2 overs, even though he is a spinner. And he also tells Prashant to follow Devender's instructions.
But Arvind gives the ball to Dwight in the 18th over, instead of Devender. Haryana needs 25 from 2 overs. Arvind gives the 19th over to Prashant. Prashant goes ahead and bowls a fantastic over, defying Niranjan and Devender. Vikrant tells Pritish to make him pay. Arvind gives the last over to Devender, with 20 to win in 6 balls. Vikrant bets everything he has on a Haryana win. Pritish gives Devender the signal to throw the match. with 2 balls to go, Haryana still has 8 to get. Devender bowls a no-ball. It comes down to 1 run from the last ball. There is a run out opportunity, but Raghunath fumbles and Haryana wins the match. Arvind is in shock. Vayu is furious. Vikrant and his investors made a profit of rs 400 crores on the match. He keeps half and gives rs 50 crores each back to the investors as their return. Prashant gets a MoM award and Vayu gifts him a phone. Vayu sees Meera with Litner.
Handa is keeping Svetlana at his guest house. Handa and Ayesha continue their affair and Ayesha comments that Handa is finally playing the game. Devender reaches Prashant's room and slaps him mercilessly. He gets a call from his father informing that his mother has been hit by a motorcycle. Devender says next time it will be a truck. Prashant breaks down.
