Ireland is currently a Test nation after becoming one four years ago, even though they are still relatively new to international cricket and depend on limited resources and a small number of matches. They continue to astound us. In the second ODI in Dublin on Tuesday night, they trounced South Africa by a margin of 43 runs, proving their ability to fight above their weight. Ireland gained notoriety after they defeated Pakistan by three wickets in the World Cup group stage in the West Indies in 2007. Pakistan was knocked out of the World Cup by their victory. Ireland managed to chase down Pakistan’s total while also picking up seven wickets after bowling them out for 132.
The opening of a 2010 series of bilateral meetings between Bangladesh and Ireland: The Irish demonstrated that their success in the Super Eights phase of the 2007 World Cup was no accident with a devastating seven-wicket victory over the Test country. To get the home team to 235 runs, captain William Porterfield, who had scored 85 runs in the World Cup encounter, hit a century. The Irish squad outperformed the seasoned England team in a high-scoring match during the 2011 World Cup match between Bangladesh and England, successfully pursuing the 329-run target with three wickets left. After losing early wickets, Ireland needed the century from batter No. 6 Kevin O’Brien and the combination he formed with batsmen Nos. 7 and 8 to carry them over.
2015 World Cup matchups between Zimbabwe and Australia and New Zealand are set. Zimbabwe was the favourite to defeat Ireland even though they were a weak team at the time. Former England batsman Ed Joyce, who was playing for Ireland, contributed to their 331/8 total with a century The Zimbabweans lost by five runs because it was too much for them. Ireland kept beating Zimbabwe often in the years that came after.
