Pakistan is bogey team of India and Australia at-least for the past 3 decades.
1996 World Cup Campaign, India knocked Pakistan Out in Quarter Final.

1999 World cup Campaign. Australia beats Pakistan in Final.

2003 World cup campaign, Aus/Ind defeat Pakistan in Group stages and as a result they went out in First round.

2011 World Cup Campaign. India knocks Pakistan out in Mohali Semi Final

2015 World Cup Campaign. Australia knocks Pakistan out in Quarter final.

2019 World Cup Campaign. Defeats at the hands of Australia and India ensured Pakistan knocked out in first round.
 
Is it also a coincidence that Australia and India happen to be the two most successful nations in world cups during that period?

Australia for one has always come up like a wall in everyone’s path.

Yes, its captain obvious. Every unsuccessful team can say the semi or finalists teamsare our bogey teams...
 
Aussies have been the best team for the last couple of decades and india has joined them this decade!
To be the best, you have to beat the best, and unfortunately, we have been unable to do that!

copying the ric flairs signature quote in different manner.
 
These two teams will be the bogey team for all teams because they are strong, they are the best. Its not a co incidence. Its just simple logic.

In other words, they were better teams than ours
 
Australia has been a pain for us though.

1987, 2003, 2015 we smashed everyone else but collided with the immovable Aussies in the end.

Pakistan has a habit of losing like 2-3 times every World Cup.
 
We've only really lost 3 games , in the beginning we all thought that 6 out of 9 would probably be enough .
Think not having a reserve day was crucial.
Pakistan have hit good form but have timed their sprint wrong this time .
Choosing to bowl vs India was a terrible decision in hindsight seeing how the tournament has played out.

dont forget 1987 wc when aussies knocked out pakistan making imran khan into retirement,when pakistan was great and australia was in bad phase.
