After being criticised and trolled for their performance in the CWC 2019, Sarfaraz Ahmed’s men pulled off a stunning victory over the unbeaten New Zealand side. The Men in Green won the game by six wickets as they displayed an all-round performance at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. The team outplayed the Black Caps in all the departments of the game. With this win, the official account of the Cricket World Cup drew spooky parallels between CWC 2019 and 1992. Babar Azam Becomes First Pakistan Batsman to Score Century in CWC 2019, Helps PAK Beat New Zealand.

We all know that the current format of the World Cup is quite similar to the one in 1992. But if you go by the results of Pakistan, it turns out that the results are turning exactly the way they were in 1992. Don’t believe us? Check out the post shared by the official handle of the CWC 2019.

With this, the team is just one point away from sealing the spot on number four on the ICC Cricket 2019 Points Table. The win has further opened the tournament and it’s become quite interesting as the final four teams are yet to be decided.

Talking about the match yesterday, it was Shaheen Afridi who snapped three wickets and gave a brilliant start to the team. The Kiwis put up a total of 237 runs on the board. It was Babar Azam’s century that led the team to the finishing line.
