T20 World Cup | Babar backs Hasan after costly blunder

"He is one of my main bowlers and he has won many matches for Pakistan,” Pakistan captain Babar Azam said.

Pakistan captain Babar Azam offered consolation to team mate Hasan Ali whose costly mistake in the field allowed Matthew Wade to securein the Twenty20 World Cup semi-final on Thursday.

Having conceded 44 runs in four wicketless overs, Hasan had more disappointment to face in the dramatic closing stages of the see-saw match at the Dubai International Stadium.

With Australia needing 22 runs off the last two overs, Wade took a wild swing at Shaheen Afridi's third ball and sent a skier towards Hasan who spilled the catch on the leg-side.
