Someone even pulled out the 1992 World cup stats and we’re secretly praying he’s right:

Every thing is going according to plan.

Yaaaaaas!
#ENGvNZ 🏏- England & NewZealand have encountered eight times in an ODI WorldCup in which England won 3 while Kiwis were victorious in 5 matches. What more good news for Pakistan cricket fans is that since WC1983, NZ has won everytime they met England in WC ie five in a row.✌🏻

Sari scheme bataday bhai:
As we have stacked all our hopes on Newzeland now. So, let's pray Newzeland wins the toss & bats 1st. Puts up a big total, Guptill will have to fire 4 that & the other opener too. That's the best senerio for NZ's win & Inshallah they will win. #EngvNZ #NZvENG

Hmmm, a win-win situation?
99% of the Pakistanis supporting NZ for tomorrow's match but imagine NZ getting out for 150 odd and ENG chasing it down in 22 overs 🤔
NZ's NRR to get worse than PAK 😃#NZvENG #ENGvNZ

I guess we’ll have to wait and watch:
New Zealand won by 7 wickets (with 55 balls remaining) against England during 1992 World Cup 😲

As the match is about to start, people can’t stop but compare England batting first in 1992 as well:
In 1992 too,
England batted first
And New Zealand chased it successfully!History repeating lmao #ENGvNZ
