Hi Minhaj,
We find Backhand smash a really difficult shot. I think it is much better if the ball is high enough to smash that you turn around and make a Forehand Smash. If the ball is not high enough for you to get around in time then play a Backhand Topspin. This is a good simple method of dealing with these sorts of balls.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
