Babar backs Hasan Ali, says players can drop catch

Pakistan captain Babar Azam sought to make amends for his comment that Hasan Ali’s dropped catch of Matthew Wade was the turning point of their T20 World Cup semifinals defeat to Australia, saying players dropping catches was part of the game and the costly mistake was not the reason for his team’s ouster.

After Pakistan suffered a five-wicket defeat, courtesy of Wade’s sensational three consecutive sixes off Shaheen Shah Afridi in the 19th over, Babar had said at the post-match presentation that the scenario of the match could have been different had the catch been taken.
