"Don't see them taking their foot off the pedal" - Netherlands head coach ahead of India clash

Although it is expected to be a one-sided affair, the Netherlands gave India some scare in their last two meetings at the ODI World Cup in 2003 and 2011.

Dutch head coach Ryan Cook is aware of the history but affirmed that they don't see the Men in Blue throwing away any freebies ahead of the semi-finals.

Addressing reporters ahead of the clash, Cook said:

"I don't see them taking their foot off the pedal in any way before going into the semi-finals and into the final. I'm sure they'll be putting their best foot forward and preparing for us as much as they do for any other team."
