Nowadays it has become common to see someone accurately predicting things at big sporting events before they happen. A person with an X account @DonMateo_X14 has predicted that Mohammed Shami would pick seven wickets in the World Cup semifinal against New Zealand just because he saw it in his dream.
The person had made the prediction on Tuesday (November 14) while the match was played on Wednesday (November 15). “Saw a dream where Shami took 7 wickets in the semi final,” he wrote.
And surprisingly, that is what happened eventually as Shami ran through the top-order of the Kiwis, picking seven wickets for 57 runs in 9.5 overs. The top five batters of New Zealand were all dismissed by Shami.
