Pakistan's PUBG Mobile team took bronze in esports at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games in Japan, finishing third with 100 points behind Thailand (128) and China (114). It is Pakistan's fifth medal of the Games, all bronze, and its first podium finish in an esports event. The medal matters as a sign of esports' growing weight in multi-sport competition, where Pakistan has now added a new discipline to its tally alongside women's cricket, modern MMA (a mixed martial arts event) and squash.
