Ireland is currently a Test nation after achieving that status four years ago, although they are still relatively young to international cricket and rely on limited resources and a small number of games. They yet never cease to surprise. They demonstrated their ability to punch above their weight on Tuesday night when they defeated South Africa by a score of 43 runs in the second ODI in Dublin. Ireland’s victory over Pakistan at the group stage of the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies, by three wickets, propelled them to fame. By winning, Pakistan was eliminated from the World Cup. Pakistan was bowled for 132 by Ireland, who subsequently managed to chase it down while taking seven wickets.
the first of a bilateral series between Ireland and Bangladesh in 2010: With a crushing seven-wicket victory over the Test nation, the Irish showed that their victory in the Super Eights round of the 2007 World Cup was no accident. Captain William Porterfield, who had scored 85 runs in the World Cup match, scored a century this time as the home team attempted to reach the 235-run mark. 2011 World Cup play in Bangladesh vs. England: In a high-scoring contest, the Irish team outclassed the seasoned England, successfully pursuing the 329-run target with three wickets remaining. Ireland relied on No. 6 batsman Kevin O’Brien’s century and his partnership with Nos. 7 and 8 batsmen to see them through after losing early wickets.
Zimbabwe will play Australia and New Zealand in the 2015 World Cup. Even though they were a weak team at the time, Zimbabwe was still the favourites to defeat Ireland. Ireland’s 331/8 total was aided by a century from former England batsman Ed Joyce, who was playing for Ireland. The Zimbabweans lost by five runs because it was too much for them. Over the following few years, Ireland went on to defeat Zimbabwe numerous times
