Kevin O Brien stunned England side with the fastest hundred in World Cup history as Ireland claimed their greatest victory with three-wicket success in Bangalore. It was a highest run chase triumph so far in World Cup tournaments, Kevin O Brien scored a magnificent 113 in just 63 balls, he shared a 162-run stand with his partner Alex Cusack which was match-winning partnership for Ireland.
England's performance in the field was not worthy today as they lost the match against Ireland, they dropped many important catches especially O'Brien whose catch was dropped by English skipper Andrew Strauss. Ireland presented a good show while batting and secured a monumental win against England. When the partnership between O Brien and Alex Cusack was broken with 55 still needed Ireland could have lost their way, especially when O'Brien couldn't get the strike back. However, after struggling to get the ball away Mooney suddenly started locating the boundary, firstly off the outside edge but then with two nerveless drives through the covers, each coming after England had strung together a few dot balls to build strain. He was the leading partner in the seven-wicket stand.
Still, though, there was a final twirl when O'Brien was run out in the second to last over. Trent Johnston, however, drove his first ball, a full toss from Stuart Broad, for four as the equation came down to below a run-a-ball for the first time in the complete chase. The final over started with just three needed and off the second ball Mooney clipped Anderson through midwicket to set off epic celebrations that will take over any available Bangalore bar tonight.
