Thanks to Babar Azam¡¯s glorious batting in Edgbaston ground in Birmingham, Pakistan defeated New Zealand in ICC World Cup 2019. They had to chase a target of 238 runs and they managed to do so just by losing four wickets and with the help of Azam¡¯s century.
With this win of Pakistan, the social media is on fire with theories about Pakistan¡¯s possible win in ICC World CUP 2019, that is if the team continues to perform like this. How legit are these theories though?
A MASSIVE result for Pakistan.

One has to take a look at cricket World Cup¡¯s history to understand. Looking back we will find that in 1992 World Cup was won by Pakistan. Incidentally, Pakistan¡¯s 2019 World Cup performance resonates with the one in 1992.
Till now, Pakistan has played seven matches in this World Cup. The results and situations of all those matches are exactly similar to those matches that Pakistan played in 1992.
This is how things went down for Pakistan in 1992: defeat in the first match, win in the second, third match abandoned due to rain, defeat in the fourth and the fifth match and wins in the sixth and the seventh.
The picture in 2019 is exactly similar: defeat in the first match, win in the second, third match abandoned due to rain, defeat in the fourth and the fifth match and wins in the sixth and the seventh.
There are some discussions on some other similarities as well. Just like in 1992, every team played against every other team, post which top four for the semi finals were decided, and the same seems to be the case in this World Cup.
In 1992, two new white balls were used in each inning. Matches in 2019 are being played with two new balls per inning too. Here's more: former Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, late Benazir Bhutto's husband, was in jail in 1992. Guess who is in jail again in 2019? Yes, Asif Ali Zardari.
The uncanny similarities do not end there.
A left-hand batsman, Sohail (Aamir) was Man of the Match in the sixth match in 1992 World Cup. A left-hand batsman Sohail (Haris) was Man of the Match in the sixth match in 2019 World Cup.
India then Australia had won the earlier two World Cups in 1992. In 2019 too, India then Australia won the two earlier World Cups. Coincidence? Either way, it's unbelievable!

Considering all this, if we assume that the Pakistan team¡¯s current captain Sarfaraz Khan might become the Prime Minister of the country in 2045, we are not be getting to ahead of ourselves. Why, you ask? Well, guess who was Pakistan¡¯s team captain in 1992 and is its Prime Minister now.
Yep, Imran Khan. If the similar trends between 1992 and 2019 World Cup continue, Pakistan, be ready for Sarfaraz to become your leader in 16 years! Is the theory too far fetched?
