What is Spot-fixing?

Spot-fixing refers to illegal activity in a sport where a specific part of a game is fixed. Examples include something as minor as timing a no ball or wide delivery in cricket or timing the first throw-in or corner in . Spot-fixing attempts to defraud bookmakers illegally by means of a player agreeing to perform to order by pre-arrangement.

Eg-:  a bowler might deliberately bowl consecutive wides in his second over or a batsman could make sure he does not reach double figures.
