Brilliant batting display by the Ireland team to chase a huge total of 327. They have beaten England by 3 wickets and have caused the first major upset of the ICC World Cup 2011. Kevin O'Brien was the stand out batsman who scored 113 off just 63 balls the fastest century across all World Cups. England on the other hand would be shell shocked after losing to Ireland. Their bowling was very poor and the result shows that in the end. Swann was the best bowler for the English side with figures of 3/47 in 10 overs.
