Made a fumbling cut straight into the final four, Pakistan went on to lift the World Cup back in 1992, now 30 years later the scenario for Babar Azam-led men stands somehow similar.

Losing the first two encounters Pakistan is set to face New Zealand in the Semi-Final and has come across a set of some striking similarities with the Pakistani team from 1992.

Both editions of the World Cup were played in Australia, where Pakistan lost both editions’ opening encounters at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Imran Khan and Babar Azam-led Pakistan lost to India in the group stage in 1992 and in 2022 in the historic clash which came with Virat Kohli’s superb knock.

Both sides won their last 3 games in the group that consolidated their stance to cruise into the final four where Imran Khan’s men met the Kiwis in the Semi-Final.

Qualified to the tournament’s knock-out round with just an extra point that too on the last day of the group stage match.

New Zealand was thrashed by Pakistan in the 1992 World Cup and this time again the Babar Azam side is meeting New Zealand in the SF, will they keep their chances alive to repeat ‘The Miracle of 92’?

Babar Azam will seek to hold onto its nerves and perform big in the greatest-ever encounter of the campaign after setting off to a fragile start in the game.

All eyes are on the ultimate battle of the game where there is a sheer possibility of India meeting Pakistan in the World Cup 2022 final, which will be the greatest cricketing battle of all time.
