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

#3 Third match getting washed out

Pakistan was lucky to get a point from the England game

The fate of the 1992 World Cup would have changed drastically had the match between Pakistan and England not been washed out. With two wins from two games, a confident England took on Pakistan in their third match of the tournament. It was the third match for Pakistan as well as they had a win and a loss in the first two games.

England asked Pakistan to bat first and their bowlers responded by bowling out them for 74. England had a steady start to the run chase as they scored 17 for the loss of a wicket in six overs. But it was the show of rain after that, as the match had to be abandoned and points were shared between the teams.

History repeated itself as Pakistan's third game in the 2019 WC was also washed out. This time the rain never relented as the match had to be abandoned without a ball being bowled.
