Pakistan will face England in the all-important final of the T20 World Cup on 13 November 2022 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG).
As we look at the previous matches, including today's, it seems like history is repeating itself because many similarities were seen in this year's T20 World Cup, just like the 1992 World Cup.

Back In 1992, Pakistan struggled to have a perfect start as they lost the World Cup opening match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
The Men in Green also lost their opening game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in this year's T20 World Cup.
Pakistan, led by Imran Khan, was also defeated by India in their group-stage match. Whereas Babar Azam's side also suffered defeat at the hands of India during their group stage match.
Both teams struggled to qualify for the semi-final in their times, but they did it by winning their last three consecutive group stage matches.
Another similarity we can see is that only one point difference pushed us to move toward the semi-final round of the World Cup.
Now here we see huge coincidences, Imran Khan's side faced New Zealand in the semi-final of the 1992 World Cup and defeated them to move on towards the historic final.
Pakistan, led by Babar Azam also defeated New Zealand in the semi-final of the T20 World Cup and progressed toward the final.
England defeated India today to reach the mega-event final. Still, here we see only one similarity that in 1992, England defeated South Africa (D/L) to reach the final of the World Cup.
As history is repeating itself, can we see England taking their 30-year-old revenge, or will the Men in Green take us back to the days of winning the cup, just like in 1992?
