He said that India did a favor to Pakistan by “playing poorly” in the T20 World Cup Group A match in New York, but the Babar Azam-led team failed to take advantage of it. The Indian team collapsed for 119 runs on the sluggish pitch of the South County International Cricket Stadium. The team was all out in the 19th over itself. Even in the first 10 overs, the score of Team India was 80 runs for 3 wickets, but the next 39 runs were scored in 9 overs and seven wickets fell. In the end, the Pakistani team could not even achieve the target of 120 runs. Former veteran cricketer Rameez Raja looked angry with this defeat of Pakistan. India did them a favor by playing badly- Rameez Raja He said that if the Indian team had batted better, then the match would have been out of Pakistan’s reach. In an interview to Cricbuzz, he said, “India did them a favor by playing poorly. Actually, they were playing fearlessly, otherwise they would have easily reached 140-150 runs, which would have been very difficult for Pakistan, but due to their poor shots and some good bowling, Pakistan came back in the game.” Rameez Raja called the wicket of Mohammad Rizwan the turning point. He said, “We did not see any positive intent. There was no good awareness of the game either. The shot that (Mohammad) Rizwan played on (Jasprit) Bumrah’s ball was not right. Bumrah came to get the breakthrough. His two overs proved to be decisive for Pakistan. If he had used his mind and ensured that Bumrah was played safely, it could have been easier for the team to win.” Rizwan was bowled by Bumrah.
‘The combination has gone haywire because of him’, Rameez Raja’s harsh words about this player

Where after the first T20I was washed out due to rain, the host team defeated Pakistan by 23 runs in the second T20I. Now the third match of the series is to be played on May 28. Before this, former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja has given a big statement. Pakistan recently appointed Gary Kirsten as the head coach of the team, who tried to try Saim Ayub as an opening batsman. But his move backfired and Ayub failed to score runs. Let us tell you that Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam were Pakistan’s primary pair in T20I and this pair showed impressive performance. Now after the defeat against England, former Pakistan PCB president Ramiz Raja has said that due to Saim Ayub the entire combination of the Pakistan team has gone haywire. I don’t think Pakistan should stick with Saim- Rameez Raj Rameez Raja said on his YouTube channel, winning or losing is part of the game, but Pakistan could have competed better and could have won in the end, but they made mistakes. First of all, let’s talk about Pakistan’s problems. He said, first Saim Ayub is coming as an opener. I don’t think Pakistan should stick with Saim. He has been given a lot of chances and you have to perform better in international cricket. Rameez Raja further said that, he is immature. You should try the opening pair of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam again. Because this is the strength of Pakistan and they understand each other’s game. The whole combination has gone haywire because of Saim.
