Pakistanis take striking similarity with 1992 Cricket World Cup as divinely sign

Social and mainstream media remains abuzz following revelations by cricket commentators drawing identical comparisons to Pakistan’s victorious 1992 World Cup trajectory which began with a rocky start to the ongoing 2019 tournament.
The green shirts beat the undefeated Kiwis (New Zealand) this week in the 33rd ICC Cricket World Cup match hosted by England. New Zealand’s defeat 27 years ago was the same at the hands of Pakistan and so were many other actions in the match and previous matches.
Hype created by cricket experts, analysts, former players, and multiple mass communication mediums has led many intuitive Pakistanis to believe its a divinely sign and history will repeat itself.
Starting from the format, playing conditions, and Pakistan result sequence,  up to ridiculously overstretching the total recall theory diving into similarities of political situations, movie releases, and whether if Pakistan wins, will Captain Sarfraz Ahmed go on to become Pakistan’s Prime Minister in 2045 like incumbent elected PM Imran Khan, who championed Pakistan its first and only World Cup trophy in 1992. Over two decades later Khan’s party won the 2018 general elections ascending him to the premier’s position.
Though there are multiple undisputed facts that interestingly lead to that conclusion, skeptics stress that both Afghanistan and Bangladesh which did not compete in the 1992 tournament are enough to dispel that theory.
Pakistan will engage Afghanistan on Saturday and Bangladesh will be next. 
The green shirts need to win both matches to keep what some call a prophecy from failing.
Arab News took the streets of the country’s capital to gather if people subscribe to superstitious belief.
