BENGALURU, Nov 9 (Reuters) - The Netherlands are far from intimidated by the prospect of finishing their 50-overs World Cup campaign on Sunday with a game against India, the tournament's only unbeaten team, all-rounder Teja Nidamanuru said. The Dutch side, who came through the qualifiers, upset South Africa and beat Bangladesh to register two wins from their eight matches so far. "Every time we step on the park, we're trying to showcase our skills and do the best that we can, especially being at the World Cup and coming through the journey that we've done." This is the first time the Dutch managed two wins at a World Cup but Nidamanuru felt their performances have been inconsistent. "We haven't put together the ideal game yet, if I'm really honest."
