Coach Waqar Younis has admitted that Pakistan must produce better batting performances under pressure if they are to progress at the World Cup.
Pakistan lost by 76 runs to arch rivals India at Adelaide on Sunday in their opening game of the tournament as their middle order collapsed in their chase of 301.
Next up is what could be a crucial game against Pool B rivals West Indies in Christchurch on Friday, and Waqar wants to see evidence that his team can make big runs.
"We can all see what went wrong," he is quoted by Sky Sports News as saying. "We didn't play well, India played better than us by building partnerships, probably we took more pressure. But we have to realise that it's just the start and there are more games to play and we will come back in the matches ahead.
"A target of 300 runs in Australia and New Zealand is chaseable, this has become the norm, a par total, and we have to chase down 300 in games ahead.
"We know the importance of the game so we will try to have a positive frame of mind and do well."
Waqar is in his second spell as Pakistan coach after guiding them to a semi-final finish at the 2011 World Cup.
