When asked about the recent 2-1 series loss to Australia in South Africa, Miller said: "The mood was pretty good, they (Australia) beat us 2-1 but it was a good preparation just before the the World Cup, not ideal losing against Australia, but I believe we have done really well over the last 12-18 months...as a T20 side."

"And the confidence is really good and we are sticking to a good game plan, the guys are playing accordingly in their certain roles...everyone knows in T20 you can win some and lose some.. we have been pretty consistent, we need to pitch up to each game in the world cup and take it seriously," the 26-year-old player told reporters at the open media session.

Echoing views of many pundits, he said India are favourites being the local side.

Miller, though, felt that the South African players were pretty familiar to the conditions in India.

"Pretty familiar with the conditions (in India), the place we go to that has helped a lot and obviously coming from a tour to India, been here few times and I enjoy it," he says.

According to him, he has no favorite batting position but would like to bat higher-up in the order.

"No favorite batting position but would love to bat little bit higher, the batting order was flexible (in the series against Australia), that is one our key points... I could go in at (number) four in one game, at (number) six in one game, its just about adapting. I will try and make best of the situation when I come in..." he added.
