Cumilla Warriors head coach Ottis Gibson believes that they need to make the most out of the first power play but added that at the same time they must make sure that they don’t lose too many wickets as it will only hurt their purpose in the end.

Ottis was seen conducting an intense training session with Warriors team members at the BCB academy premises on Friday as they prepare to take on Rajshahi Royals in the first game at Sher-e- Bangla National Stadium on Saturday.

Warriors need to pull up their socks as further slip in the group phase after managing only two wins from six matches can only prove costly considering their chances of progressing beyond the group phase and Gibson seemed well aware of Warriors present condition in the points table.

‘’I think first power play is important but if you lose too many wickets, you can lose a game in the first power play. If you lose too many wickets, you are struggling,’’ Gibson told Cricfrenzy.

‘’Say for example last night we were under pressure but the key thing is if you get one persona if one person can have a day he can change the game. He won us the game last night. The first power play is important but it is not the end of all. If you lose three wickets in the first power play, you can end up losing in a match,’’ he said.
