fasak_vachadu Posted June 26, 2019 Report Posted June 26, 2019 Source: https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/_/id/27052302/the-eerie-similarities-1992-2019-world-cups-pakistan vedava comparison No doubt you've come across the memes and WhatsApp forwards, or had discussions with friends. The inescapable conclusion is that for Pakistan, the 2019 World Cup is going the exact same way as the 1992 tournament. Which means, of course, that Pakistan will do exactly what they did in 1992 and win the World Cup. Will this carry on? Ishita Mazumder / © ESPNcricinfo Ltd The similarities begin, credibly, with the format In 1992, the tournament had nine teams, with everyone playing against everyone else and the top four progressing to the semi-finals. In 2019, the tournament has 10 teams, and everyone plays everyone else and the top four progress to the semi-finals. Even the playing conditions In 1992, the administrators decided to use two new white balls per innings, one at each end. In 2019, the teams are also playing with two new white balls per innings, one at each end. Then, the most credible and compelling similarities - Pakistan's sequence of results: In 1992, Pakistan's sequence for the first six games read: Lost, won, washout, lost, lost, won. In 2019, Pakistan's sequence for the first six games read: Lost, won, washout, lost, lost, won. In 1992, Pakistan lost their opening game to West Indies. In 2019, Pakistan lost their opening game to West Indies. That sequence will be tested firmly at Edgbaston on Wednesday when Pakistan take on New Zealand In 1992, when Pakistan took on Martin Crowe's side, the co-hosts were unbeaten. Pakistan eased home by seven wickets in Christchurch and sealed their entry into the semi-finals. In 2019, Pakistan take on an unbeaten New Zealand again. This time though, a win doesn't guarantee them a place in the last four, though considerably increases their chances. Also, a worrying sign for Pakistan fans: the 1992 game was the tournament's 34th match. Edgbaston will be this tournament's 33rd. Around now, the theory starts stretching In 1992, Pakistan had Inzamam-ul-Haq, one of their breakout stars. In 2019, Pakistan have his nephew Imam-ul-Haq. In 1992, a Pakistani left-hand batsman named Sohail (Aamir) was the Man of the Match in their sixth game. In 2019, a Pakistani left-hand batsman named Sohail (Haris) was Man of the Match in their sixth game. In 1992, India and then Australia had won the previous two World Cups. In 2019, India and then Australia have won the previous two World Cups. And finally, the theory goes bonkers In 1992, Asif Ali Zardari, a former president of Pakistan and husband of the late Benazir Bhutto, was in jail. In 2019, Asif Ali Zardari again is in jail. In 1992, Aladdin was released as an animated musical film. In 2019, an Aladdin reboot was released. Before you get too carried away though, the 2019 Pakistan team is not going there. Not 1992 in any case, as Azhar Mahmood pointed out: "If you see the 1992 World Cup and this one, there are a few similarities. But we're not thinking like that. If you look at the 1999 World Cup, the situation that we are in, Australia was in that situation. If they lost any games, they would've been out. We are in that situation. But for us, every match is a final, that is how we are looking at it. We know that if we perform poorly anywhere, we could be out." So remember: it's Australia 1999, not Pakistan 1992, that Pakistan 2019 must emulate to win this. Quote
