Top 5 greatest upsets in ODI cricket history

#3 Ireland vs England, 15th Match, Group B (D/N), ICC Cricket World Cup at Bengaluru, Mar 2 2011

Kevin O'Brien played a magical knock that helped his side upset England

There is something about Kevin O'Brien and the way he goes about things. Irish cricket will always cherish the berserk knock that he played against England in the 2011 World Cup.

England won the toss and batted first and they batted brilliantly. Kevin Pietersen (59 off 50 balls), Jonathan Trott (92 off 92 balls) and Ian Bell (81 off 86 balls) all scored genius knocks and helped England amass a monumental score of 327/8 in 50 overs.

Ireland were struggling from the word go. They lost William Porterfield, the skipper on the first ball of the innings. Paul Stirling (32 off 28 balls), Ed Joyce (32 off 61 balls) and Niall O'Brien (29 off 36 balls) all got in and got out.

Ireland lost the plot, and were reeling at 111/5 in the 25th over of the match.And then, the magic began. Kevin O'Brien and Alex Cusack put on 162 off 103 deliveries, in what was a match-turning partnership. John Mooney's cameo helped Ireland seal a famous win.
