26.10.2023 - 07:47 sports.ndtv.com

Netherlands coach Ryan Cook admitted their dream of reaching the semifinal at the ongoing World Cup "looks a bit distant" following the drubbing that the team got at the hands of Australia in New Delhi.

The Dutch team lost by 309 runs -- the biggest in tournament history -- against Australia, their fourth loss to lie at the bottom of the points table.

The Dutch team will face Bangladesh in their next assignment, before taking on Afghanistan, England and India. "We're going to back ourselves against any team that we come up against.

Obviously, we do have four more matches left and we'll be aiming to try and get as many victories as we can. "We said that at the start of the tournament when we got here that we'll sort of be pushing for semi-finals.
