By Saurabh Sharma June 28, 2019 • 12:15 PM View: 1308

New Delhi, June 28 (CRICKETNMORE): Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has claimed that India will "never want Pakistan" to make it to the semi-finals of the ongoing World Cup and that's why the Men in Blue might perform badly and intentionally lose their matches against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Pakistan journalist Saj Sadiq posted a video of Ali making these comments on a TV show on Pakistan-based channel Ary News before Sarfaraz Ahmed's men defeated New Zealand by six wickets in Birmingham on Wednesday.
