<p>Mumbai Indians pacer Daniel Sams, who contributed to the team's two successive wins in IPL-15, says the five-time champions want to finish the season on a "bit of a roll", having failed to make the playoffs.</p>.<p>MI are at the bottom of the table with eight losses and two wins.</p>.<p>"Obviously we're not going to be able to make the playoffs, but how we set up the rest of the tournament for us is, we've got a little 'mini IPL'," Sams said on the eve of their game against Kolkata Knight Riders here.</p>.<p>Sams, who has picked up seven wickets from as many matches, feels his team-mates are motivated to win their remaining matches.</p>.<p>"So the last six games — we've played two of them already — we're just kind of judging ourselves on that. Yes, this year we can't make the playoffs but we can still build on a lot of things for the coming season.</p>.<p>"Motivation for the guys is we want to win the rest of our games. That's actually what's motivating us. We want to finish this IPL on a bit of a roll. We see our team as a really good team, and we want to prove that over the next coming days," added Sams.</p>.<p>Sams won the game for his team against Rajasthan Royals with a six and then bowled a brilliant last over against Gujarat Titans, where he defended nine runs, to see his side home.</p>.<p>When Mumbai played KKR last, Sams was taken to the task by compatriot Pat Cummins, as he bled 35 runs in an over. The pace-bowling all-rounder admitted that he wasn't bowling to his strengths but rectified it after a conversation with the support staff.</p>.<p>"That's where it came about that I wasn't quite bowling to my strengths. I was bowling my slower balls but I was bowling up rather than into the pitch.</p>.<p>"Through the conversations with, there was MJ (Mahela Jayawardene), Bondy (Shane Bond), Jasprit (Bunmrah) and a few others, I was able to realise why those things were happening and then rectify them in training. Work on a couple of things and then be able to stay calm," he signed off.</p>
