Sylhet Sixers opener David Warner said that wicket in Bangladesh Premier League does not permit to play big shots initially because it is challenging in the middle during the opening phase of the game.

On the opening two days of the BPL, the matches weren’t turned out to be high scoring games and Warner explained the reason behind it.   

“The first six overs is going to be crucial for every team. They were five or six down for 30. We were in a similar position. The new ball is challenging, one turns and one doesn’t turn. You have to be on your guard. You have to sit in your crease and look to rotate strike,’’ Warner told reporters after the match.

‘’I think the cross-bat shots are going to be challenging. You can almost defend 130. It will be good to see what happens in the night game and then you have to assess moving forward what the right total is during the day and evening,’’ he said.

“With the new ball if it hits the seam, it turns. If it doesn’t hit the seam, it skids on. It is the difference. But it always happens in the sub-continent,’’ he added.
