I don't think it was fixed, Akram just made the bad decision of batting first on a wet grassy pitch with overcast condition, he was trying to imitate Imran Khan (his role model) who also chose to bat first in the '92 final.
Akram is a shady character, he has fixed a lot of matches, he even forced players like Mustaq Ahmed and Aqib Javed to throw away matches for money. You need to read the Justice Qayyum Report, the judge was too lenient on Wasim as he was his favorite cricketer, wasim deserved jail time.
