What is Qudrat Ka Nizaam?

The viral line Qudrat Ka Nizaam, an Urdu phrase that translates to 'the order of nature,' was first used by former Pakistan head coach Saqlain Mushtaq ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022, when Pakistan were facing England.

By using this phrase, Mushtaq tried to imply that wins and losses are a part of the game. He added that when nature makes a divine intervention at the right time, Pakistan will win the matches, irrespective of the opposition or the match situation.

Initially used in a fun way, the quote caught on with Pakistan cricket fans. The phrase is commonly used in almost every situation when Pakistan is an underdog, including in the upcoming India vs. Pakistan final.

Heading into the final in Dubai, Pakistan are massive underdogs, given their recent record against India, having lost 7 consecutive matches in head-to-head meetings across formats.

India will come into the final high on confidence, having gone on an unbeaten run in the tournament after their super over thriller against Sri Lanka.

After losing the first two encounters in the tournament against the neighbors, Pakistan now hopes to turn things around and have the last laugh by clinching its third Asia Cup title. If they win, it will be their first Asia Cup title since 2012, but a lot of things will have to fall into place to turn that dream into a reality.
