Pressure got to Pakistan's young team as they slumped to a 50-run defeat by Sri Lanka in the first test on Tuesday, said captain Younis Khan.
"It's all about pressure," he noted after Pakistan crumbled from 71-2 to 117 all out in just 44.3 overs.
"Before this series I was saying that both teams had youngsters and the team that takes pressure well will win the game," Younis added.
"(Kumar) Sangakkara's captaincy (of Sri Lanka) was fantastic this morning -- if somebody else had captained they'd have come straight with a fast bowler and I was surprised when he opened with (Rangana) Herath."
"Our batsmen tried to play across the line and that is why they got into trouble," said Younis.
He was also unhappy that Pakistan had only secured a 50-run first innings lead despite at one stage being 294-5 in reply to Sri Lanka's 292.
