With a victory in their 7th match of this World Cup, Pakistan's run is now EXACTLY similar to the one in 1992.
Honestly, Pakistan's 1992 connection is getting really scary now

Exactly in caps to mask my fear of them winning the tournament like they did back then.

If you have been following the World Cup stories on social media, you must have noticed some version of this creative.

Or someone from Pakistan talking about 'repeating history'.Β
It makes sense, too, because their run in the tournament isn't the only similarity between the two editions. Here are some others.
1. The 1992 World Cup was held in a round-robin format. So is the 2019 one. The format has not been followed in any other edition in between.

2. Pakistan ended New Zealand's winning run in their 7th match yesterday. Just like they did in 1992. In their 7th match.
3. On both occasions, The Man of the Match for the 6th clash was a person with the surname - Sohail (Aamir Sohail in 1992 and Harish Sohail in 2019).

4. In 1992, two new white balls were used per innings, one at each end. Same in 2019.
5. In 1992, the winners of previous two editions were Australia and India. In 2019, the winners ofΒ previous two editions are Australia and India.

So, all in all, the situation is pretty scary.
