5 reasons for Pakistan's hasty exit from the ICC Champions Trophy

1. Poor Batting

The primary cause of Pakistan’s failure was their inability to perform with the bat. They were consistently poor recording scores of 170, 167 and 165 in the three matches that they played. They were bundled out in every single one of their innings; even in the match against India which was curtailed to 40 overs. The batting averages of their top batsmen make for quite a dismal reading. With their bowling department in excellent shape, all they had to do was put up reasonable scores and they would have made a fight for it. They seemed to lack the technique when the conditions were not all that hostile as well as the temperament that is required to succeed at the top level .
