Chennai: New Zealand paceman Kyle Mills says his team will try to get into the groove for the upcoming World Twenty20 by getting the better of India in the second T20 match.

“I’m a firm believer in the fact that cricket is a big momentum game. If you have momentum on your side then it instills confidence in your team and you can sort of work with that throughout the tournament,” Mills said.

The World T20 will begin in Sri Lanka September 18 and Tuesday’s game is the last international assignment ahead of the tournament.

“It’s unfortunate that the match got washed out a couple of nights ago. It’s disappointing ahead of a major tournament. It would’ve been good to play against a quality team in India. Hopefully, the weather gods hold up and keep the rain away for tomorrow night so we can get some much needed game-time ahead of the big tournament,” Mills said.

Mills said losing the Test series was disappointing but they still took a lot of postives from it.

“I think, it as an exciting time for New Zealand cricket. Especially with a young bowling group who have put in some fine performances in the recent past. From the batting group, it has been different too. The top six can probably stick around and play for a good five to six years, and that’s a positive sign,” he said. (PTI)
