Babar makes U-Turn on Hasan Ali’s dropped catch comments

Pak captain Babar Azam

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 semi-finals defeat to Australia, saying players dropping catches was part of game and the costly mistake was not the reason for his team’s ouster.


After Pakistan suffered a five-wicket defeat, courtesy 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.


At the post-match press conference, he repeated some of what he said but insisted that dropping catches was part of the game and he and the team would back Ali to the hilt. “On the day, catches were dropped and because of that the match changed. Had the catch not been dropped, the scenario would have been different. But this is part of the game and the more we learn from our mistakes the better,” he said.
