Hi Haseeb,

Try two things.  First, try to lift the ball more with a higher finish with your topspin swing. 

If that is not effective, try to get a slightly flatter contact to get the ball to travel further and hopefully over the net.

What about the wrist position we need to make it stiff with close angle or to open it via playing the shot ?

Don't use much wrist.  Keep it in a neutral position.
