Why did the Space X Starship test fail?

All of you probably know how the test launch of Starship ended. But what was the reason it crushed? Was the test successful for Space X, notwithstanding the final landing part?

The reason given was that the fuel tank pressure was too low, apparently giving inadequate thrust during the final braking phase which was otherwise optimally timed.
Yes, the test was a data gathering exercise and they got all the telemetry data they needed, so the test was considered a success.
