Pakistan captain Babar Azam finished his Asia Cup 2022 campaign with a total of 68 runs, which was unexpected from the prolific right-hand batter. Before the start of the tournament, Babar was the number 1 batter of the format till teammate Mohammad Rizwan took over his ranking courtesy to Rizwan's brilliant form in the same tournament. In the final match of the Asia Cup 2022, Sri Lanka posted a total of 170 runs and Pakistan begun their chase of 171 with the usual opening combination of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.
