The 2011 World Cup delivered one of cricket’s most mind-blowing moments, and it all unfolded in the England vs Ireland clash!
Ireland, playing their 2nd World Cup in conditions completely different from their own, were no match for England.
Stacked with names like Strauss, Pietersen, and Trott, England piled on a massive 327 runs.
Ireland's reply? A disaster. At 111 for 5 in the 25th over, their hopes seem crushed. And then, Kevin O’Brien happens. This all-rounder didn’t just bat, he obliterated England’s bowling attack, smashing a century in just 50 balls, the fastest World Cup hundred at the time!
O’Brien falls in the 49th over, but his teammates pick up the baton. With just five balls to spare, Ireland pulls off the unthinkable, chasing 328 to win by three wickets!
