Jofra Archer stole the limelight as he bowled England to victory to help them claim their first ever World Cup. But that might not be the craziest thing Archer has done. The speedster predicted the outcome of the final way back in 2013, breaking it down moment by moment, in a sequence of tweets.

English speedster Jofra Archer has not only been making the headlines for his performances with the ball, but also for his old tweets, which bizarrely seem to have a reference with every major incident in the 2019 World Cup, and some people have even went on to call the pacer as a time traveler. 

In the World Cup lat the Lord's on Sunday, England beat New Zealand in super over on the virtue of hitting more boundaries, after the match ended in a tie after the first 100 overs. Archer bowled England to victory in the super over, but that might not be his greatest achievement yet. In a series of astounding tweets, Archer predicted every major outcome of the final, way back in 2013, and this has sent the whole of Twitterati into meltdown. Let us break down the tweets. 

Chasing 242, England were reduced to 86-4. Déjà vu, perhaps?

While all batsmen fell like a pack of cards, one man stood tall. Guess who?

Trent Boult stepped on the boundary line after taking a catch. A very, very costly one. But Jofra knew, of course.

Last over. Two wickets in hand. Guess how many runs England needed?

Yes, Jofra. You were not alone, we all were nervous

15 runs needed with 2 wickets in hand. Did any of you predict a super over? No? Jofra did. 

Did you forget how much NZ needed to win in the super over? Don't worry, time traveler Jofra has got you covered!

5 years later, we're wondering the same thing too.

Easy there, Jofra! The rule helped your country win their first ever World Cup!

He knew. His mother knows. And well, now the whole world does!
