Did The Simpsons predict Pakistan winning Champions Trophy 2025?

A viral image on social media claims that the famous animated series The Simpsons has predicted Pakistan's victory in the 2025 Champions Trophy.

The show has long been known for its uncanny predictions about future events, including Donald Trump's presidency, Kamala Harris' defeat, California wildfires, and even the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these predictions, made decades ago, have surprisingly come true.

The Champions Trophy is set to begin on February 19, with Pakistan serving as both the host nation and the defending champion. Amid the excitement, social media users have been widely sharing an image suggesting that The Simpsons has predicted Pakistan's triumph in the tournament.

However, for Pakistani cricket fans celebrating this so-called prediction, there's an important clarification: the viral image is not from the original Simpsons series. Instead, it is an AI-generated creation meant to mislead people.

Many social media users have pointed this out, with some calling it an "AI trick," while others humorously commented that, given Pakistan's current team selection, this might be the first time The Simpsons gets a prediction wrong.

Pakistan won its first-ever Champions Trophy title in 2017 under Sarfaraz Ahmed's captaincy, defeating arch-rivals India by 180 runs in the final at The Oval.

The Green Shirts will begin their title defence on February 19 at Karachi's National Stadium against New Zealand.

The much-anticipated Pakistan-India clash is scheduled for February 23 in Dubai.
