#7 India and Australia being the winners of the previous two World Cups

The above-mentioned similarities have been drawn to indicate that if the trend continues then Sarfaraz Ahmed stands a chance to become the second captain to guide Pakistan to a World Cup title.
Another striking parallel that has been drawn is the two WC winners prior to the 1992 and 2019 World Cup. Kapil Dev's side stunned the entire cricketing fraternity to lift the cup in 1983 which changed the way people looked at cricket in India. Australia then went to win the 1987 World Cup.
Pakistan under the leadership of Imran Khan won their only World Cup in 1992 beating all the odds. With India and Australia winning the 2011 & 2015 WC respectively, the Pakistan fans are hopeful for a repeat of that sequence.
