Kevin O’Brien’s fasted word cup hundred ever (coming off 50 balls) has lead Ireland to a historic 3 wicket win over England at Bangalore. Off England’s 50 overs they made 8-327. Trott top scored with 92 and Bell and Pietersen made 81 and 59 repectively. Ireland’s Mooney was their best bowler taking 4-63. Victory looked unlikely for the Irish when Gary Wilson was trapped LBW making the score 5-111. To the rescue came Kevin O’Brien and Alex Cusack who shared an 162 run stand to turn the game aroung. Even after their magnificent partnership the game was still in the balance when Cusack was dissmised. However cool heads under pressure from O’Brien, Johnston and Mooney saw the Irish win by 3 wickets with 5 balls left.
