Hi Hassan, I was having a lot of problems with ODI but now find them the easier of the two as a result is guaranteed. I find the key is to play the most inform and aggressive batsman in my squad, not even necessarily the best. I try to have one or two all rounders so we bat far down, and open the batting with two aggressive not neccessarily your best batsman. I set them to 3 aggression bars from the end and leave them and any wickets to fall worth of batsman until 2 or 3 wickets down on aggressive too. If I lose quick wickets I leave the batsman on normal until 15 overs to go and change to the same level as earlier.
With 10 overs to go with wickets in hand every batsman goes on V.aggressive one bar not filled as I find full v.aggressive they don't actually hit the ball :P
It helps to have one or two batsman vaguely in and at the crease for a while come the slog time as they find it easiest to really start laying into the bowling attack. Try to keep your run rate at least around 4.5 or over before the final 10 overs and you should be able to get close to or beyond 250 in most matches.
Obviously flexibilitly helps a bit too so if two batsman are in fully but the runs are drying a little, up to v.aggressive to push along with two batsman who are seeing the ball well. And if you have key wickets in hand, you can always try to push the run rate up.
Hope some of that rambling helps :P
