New Zealand pacer Tim Southee on Tuesday said his team's bowlers benefitted from the experience of playing in the IPL here just before the T20 World Cup as it helped them gain familiarity with the UAE conditions.

Almost all Kiwi bowlers, including pacers Trent Boult, Southee, Adam Milne and Kyle Jamieson and spinner Mitchell Santner, featured in the second leg of the IPL.
"Yeah, I think a number of guys were a part of the IPL here are playing in these conditions, playing not only in these conditions but playing the T20 format can only be a good thing," Southee said ahead of their clash against Scotland.
