Hi Arsh,

You need to work on your backhand block.  You need to think about the stroke you are playing and find ways to make it safer. 

Start with the basics.  Make sure you have the technique correct.  Take a look at th lesson on the Backhand Block.  This will help for a start.

In the match situation, be ready for this ball when you make a long push.  By making sure you are ready for this you will get yourself into a better position as well.
