However, Iftikhar Ahmed\u2019s skill in the lower order enabled them to score 182 runs.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Ireland emerged as the victors of the match, leading to questions about Pakistan\u2019s readiness for the World Cup, which is set to commence on June 1 in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Raja, in his YouTube channel, stated that there is no justification for the loss against Ireland. He also touched upon the issue of changing captains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t defend losing against Ireland. The body language looks weak, you have made combinations that have affected the team. The team was doing well, but the captaincy was changed and then the new captain was replaced with the previous one. In a World Cup year, the team has fallen to seventh position in the T20I rankings and this shows the actual condition of the team,\u201d Ramiz said on his YouTube Channel.<\/p>\n<p>The former PCB chairman then raised the question of how Pakistan could possibly win the World Cup when they haven\u2019t even got their team combinations sorted out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow will Pakistan win the World Cup, you don\u2019t have a combination, the opening pair is not set, the set batters lose their wickets and the middle order doesn\u2019t function well. In the current situation, how will Pakistan go to the semi-finals?\u201d Ramiz said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alsoread\">\n<h4 class=\"text-uppercase mb-10 mt-20 fs-18\">Also Read<\/h4>\n<div class=\"post-box sty22\">\n<div class=\"post-frame js-ratioHtP\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"post-content\">\n<h5 class=\"title\">IRE vs PAK: Ireland registers first ever T20I win against Pakistan<\/h5>\n<p>Ireland secured their first-ever T20I victory over Pakistan.
