English all-rounder Ben Stokes made a prediction a year ago, and it came true on Thursday as England defeated India by 10 wickets to advance to the Twenty20 World Cup final against Pakistan.Stokes tweeted his fans on October 29, 2021, requesting their predictions for the final against Pakistan and England. When Pakistan had already defeated New Zealand, India, and Afghanistan and was leading group II, he sent the tweet.
However, England had a lopsided victory over the defending champion West Indies and subcontinent bully Bangladesh to start the tournament.Contrary to predictions, England and Pakistan, who were expected to meet in the championship game, were eliminated from contention.
When facing the Black Caps in the last overs under pressure, England was unable to maintain composure. Similarly, despite having Australia at 96 for 5 at one stage and needing to bat out 177, Pakistan was unable to end their innings. Twitter users mocked Stokes for his tweet at the same time.
