Ramiz Raja Statement on Pak Lose vs Ind Champions Trophy 2025: Former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) president Ramiz Raja (Ramiz Raja) has questioned after India defeated Pakistan in Dubai, why Pakistan started its Champions Trophy visit against New Zealand instead of Bangladesh. Rameez said that Pakistan (Ramiz Raja Lose vs India) should have played their first match against Bangladesh, as this match would be comparatively easy, while playing against New Zealand was challenging for Pakistan.
Rameez Raja raised questions on Pakistan’s decision
After Pakistan’s crushing defeat against India, the pressure on the team to protect the title increased. Rameez said on his YouTube channel, “After the defeat against India, Pakistan should first play from Bangladesh, so that the pressure in Group A remains the same. After losing to New Zealand, there was more pressure on Pakistan.” After losing by 60 runs to New Zealand, Pakistan’s dream of making it to the semi -finals was incomplete. Rameez Raja believes that playing with Bangladesh remains the same and New Zealand does not get a chance to take an edge in the beginning.
In a high-voltage match against India, Virat Kohli Century vs Pak broke the hopes of Pakistan’s title defense with his brilliant batting. Virat chased a target of 242 and scored a brilliant century and won India by six wickets. With this victory, he also made a record of scoring the fastest 14,000 runs in ODIs. Rameez, while appreciating Virat’s innings, said, “There was everything in Virat’s innings – maintaining, aggression and speed. He played confidently against every bowler and did not give any chance to Pakistan.”
Along with this, in the match played between Bangladesh-New Zealand, New Zealand defeated Bangladesh by 5 wickets and ended Pakistan’s expectations with entry in the semi-finals and India also qualified for the semi-finals from Group A, now India and New Zealand. Between March 2, Mukabla will be played.
