POBNEWS24, Dhaka, Nov 11, 2022 : History sometimes returns, repeats itself in different forms on different stages. Do not look at the current T20 World Cup, Pakistan reached the final in all incredible equations. England became their rival by beating India by 10 wickets on Thursday. Sunday’s final will be at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
What an uncanny resemblance to the 92 World Cup, isn’t it?
In 1992, the World Cup title came to Pakistan by the hands of captain Imran Khan. It was a 50 over format. Because then there was no such thing as T20. The World Cup final was held at this Melbourne Cricket Ground. Imran Khan’s team won the World Cup title by defeating England. Will there be anything like that next Sunday?
Find more by searching for matches. Sebar Imran-Midand’s formidable Pakistan team started the tournament with a loss to the Windies. This time too they started the World Cup losing to India and Zimbabwe. Seva was also not supposed to go to their semis. As the match against England was abandoned, the points were shared. Pakistan advanced to the semis with that 1 point. 
Is this World Cup different? Everyone saw Pakistan’s departure from the Super Twelve. Because India and South Africa were ahead in the semi-final. But rain changes many calculations. Netherlands beat ‘choker’ South Africa. This created an opportunity for Pakistan to reach the semis. They made great use of the opportunity by beating Bangladesh in the last match.
If you notice, it will be seen that this season also thanks to that 1 point, Pakistan has reached the semis! How? Remember the match between South Africa and Zimbabwe. The match was won by the Proteas in a big way, but it was abandoned at the last minute due to rain. Temba Bavuma’s team is in danger after losing 1 point. Pakistan used this opportunity. When so many similarities are being found between the two seasons, can Babar Azmara make the last one like 92?
