Basit Ali says Pakistan should learn to play ODI cricket from India. Pakistan lost two of their three matches in the tri-series, including the final. India thrashed England 3-0 to warm-up in style for the Champions Trophy. The tournament begins on February 19 with the match between hosts Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi. The former batsman analysed Pakistan’s play and comparing it with India’s approach, Basit said Pakistan are unable to figure out how to build an ODI innings based on whether they are batting first or second. He also criticised Pakistan spinners for getting desperate for wickets instead of webbing a net to fox the batters into mistakes by applying pressure. He said Pakistan players need to be street-smart to apply that pressure from one ear and the other from the other side to beat any other side in the tournament, which begins on 19 February. The match will be shown live on the ICC Champions Trophy website and live on CNN.com/Cricket.
