Despite the victory against Bangladesh in the first match of the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup Tournament 2023 held at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium, Pakistan's run rate has significantly decreased.
According to sports journalist Mazhar Arshad, Pakistan easily achieved the target set by Bangladesh, but their batting performance in the final overs affected their run rate. As a result, Pakistan's run rate, which was over 3 at the end of the group stage, has now dropped to 1.05.

It's worth noting that on Wednesday at Gaddafi Stadium, Pakistan, thanks to the batting efforts of Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Rizwan, successfully chased Bangladesh's target of 194 runs with a loss of 3 wickets in 40 overs.
