Longest streaks in Cricket World Cup history

#10 Consecutive successful 300+ chases Ireland (thrice)

Thrice in Ireland’s short World Cup history have the side been given a target in the excess of 300 runs. And remarkably the Irish have successfully chased down the target each time, and are the only team with 3 successful run-chases chasing a 300+ target in World Cup history. (In fact, until Sri Lanka’s recent successful chase of 312 against England in the 2015 World Cup, no other team had managed a victorious 300+ run chase even twice!)

Ireland shocked the cricketing world with a stunning win over England in the 2011 World Cup, where they beat England’s total of 327, and then followed it up with a successful run-chase of the target of 307 set by the Netherlands in the same tournament.

In the 2015 World Cup, Ireland have continued the trend of chasing down 300+ target as they upset the West Indies with a 4 wicket win, by scoring 307 in the second innings.
