World Cup 2019: 7 common factors for Pakistan between WC 2019 and their title-winning 1992

#5 Losing the fourth and the fifth game

Miandad's antics was one of the memorable moment from 1992 WC

One of the most anticipated games in World Cups has been the India-Pakistan match. The 1992 WC presented the first opportunity for these rivals to face off on Cricket's grandest stage. India was victorious in their first ever WC game against arch-rivals Pakistan by 43 runs.

Pakistan then slumped to their third loss in five games as they lost to South Africa by 20 runs in a rain-curtailed chase. The fortunes were no different for Pakistan in the 2019 WC as they came second in their fourth and fifth match. Facing Australia in a crucial game, Pakistan failed to shut down the opening duo of Aaron Finch and David Warner as both batted Pakistan out of the game.

With six defeats against India, Pakistan was determined to win the WC game against their neighbors. But Virat Kohli's side were too good as they suffered a heavy defeat by 89 runs.
