A determined Babar Azam will be aiming to secure his seat beside the great Imran Khan in Pakistan cricket's Hall of Fame as his team takes on a formidable England in the T20 World Cup final here on Sunday.
The passage of 2009 champions into the final could even beat a Hollywood thriller script as they were down and out after the first week of the tournament with morale-shattering defeats to arch-rivals India and Zimbabwe.
Pakistan raised hopes of a dramatic comeback in the second week of a tournament with a win over South Africa and a prayer on their lips for some divine intervention.
Just like in 1992, miracle happened when the Netherlands produced a performance for the ages to shock South Africa and out of nowhere, Pakistan were back in contention for a semifinal berth.
Critics say that in cricket, you never know which Pakistan turns on a particular day and the semifinal performance against a well-rounded New Zealand side showed that when it comes to playing edge-of-the-seat Russian Roulette', the Green Machines' are second to none.
