Pakistan won trophies when Australia exit from ICC Event: When Australia exited ICC tournament early, Pakistan became champion

New Delhi. This time the ICC T20 World Cup was embarrassing for the Australian team. The team had to be eliminated from the tournament after losing in the group stage itself. Due to Australia’s early exit, a special discussion started on social media. Such claims are being made that whenever the Kangaroo team has been eliminated from the ICC event in this manner, Pakistan has become the champion that time. Pakistani fans are very happy with this and believe that history can repeat itself. We will tell you whether this claim is true.

For many supporters, it’s not just about a big team’s early exit. This is a pattern that has been seen in major ICC tournaments before. Whenever Australia is eliminated in the group stage of any major ICC tournament, Pakistan somehow wins the trophy. The game of cricket is such that fans have immense passion for it. Where there is madness, it will be due to superstition. It can be called a coincidence that in all the ICC titles won by Pakistan, Australia was out of the first round.

Pakistan won the first World Cup

In 1992, Australia lost its first two matches of the tournament. They made a strong comeback and won four out of the remaining six matches, but still missed a place in the semi-finals. The format at that time was round-robin, in which all the teams played each other once and the top four went to the semi-finals. So yes, technically they were eliminated in the group stage itself. Pakistan, under the captaincy of Imran Khan, wrote one of the greatest stories of cricket. He won the World Cup for the first time, defeated England in the final and registered his name in history.

2009 t20 world cup

This pattern appeared again in 2009. Australia was eliminated in the group stage itself when Sri Lanka defeated them by six wickets. Pakistan grabbed the opportunity with both hands. They reached the finals and won the T20 World Cup title for the first time by defeating Sri Lanka under the leadership of captain Younis Khan. Once again, Pakistan won a major ICC trophy after Australia’s early exit.

2017 champions trophy

Then came 2017. Australia could not win a single match in the group stage and was eliminated. South Africa, the other top team, also got eliminated early. Pakistan performed brilliantly. In the final they defeated India by 180 runs, which was one of the most memorable matches in the history of Champions Trophy. The captain was Sarfaraz Ahmed. Three big tournaments. Australia was eliminated in the group stage three times. Pakistan won the title three times.

History changed in 2013

The Australian team was also eliminated in the group stage of the 2013 Champions Trophy. This time the pattern in other ICC events was broken. Under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the Indian team won the title by defeating England in the final.
