March 25, 1992 will forever invoke memories of the greatest moment in the history of Pakistan cricket.

On this day, 27 years ago, captain and now Prime Minister Imran Khan’s “cornered tigers” beat England by 22 runs at a thundering Melbourne Cricket Ground to lift the Cricket World Cup trophy.

The International Cricket Council’s World Cup Twitter and the Pakistan Cricket Board shared a nostalgic throwback for the fans.

Remembering the historic moment, fans and teams shared posts on social media using the hashtag #OnThisDay to pay tribute to the memorable victory.
