Man of the match KJ O'Brien

Man of the match o'Brien's smashes


 

 



Kevin O'Brien smashed the fastest ever World Cup century to propel Ireland to a stunning three-wicket win over England in a Group B match on Wednesday.
An astonishing knock by O'Brien, who clobbered 13 fours and six sixes to reach three figures in only 50 balls, helped the Irish to live up to their reputation as giant-killers as they overhauled England's total of 327-8 with five balls to spare. It was the highest successful run chase in the tournament.

 


Four years after beating Pakistan in the group stage in the Caribbean, the Irish repeated the feat to dent England's hopes of progressing into the knockout stages of the 2011 tournament.
"When you are 111-5 I just said to myself, we could just potter around and get 220 off 50 overs for eight or nine and the game would have been pretty boring to watch and it wouldn't have been anything to watch on TV," a grinning O'Brien said clutching his man of the match trophy.

Kevin O'Brien powers Ireland to victory

Kevin O'Brien powers Ireland to victory

Kevin O'Brien struck the fastest-ever World Cup hundred as Ireland pulled off a sensational three-wicket win over England on Wednesday.

 



 


Ireland, chasing 328 for victory, won with five balls to spare as they finished on 329 for seven.
It seemed as if England, who made 327 for eight, were cruising to victory when they reduced non-Test playing Ireland to 111 for five.

 




But in a brilliant burst of power-hitting O'Brien got to three figures in just 50 balls at the Chinnaswamy Stadium.
That meant he'd obliterated former Australia opener Matthew Hayden's previous fastest World Cup century record off 66 balls against South Africa at St Kitts in 2007.
O'Brien's whirlwind innings of 113 off 63 balls, including six sixes and 13 fours, ended when he was run out going for a second run by Stuart Broad's throw to wicketkeeper Matt Prior.
Ireland's target was down to three off the last over but they won with five balls to spare when John Mooney struck a four off James Anderson.

 




It was the highest successful run chase in World Cup history.
"It's pretty amazing," said Ireland batsman Alex Cusack, who made 47 in a decisive sixth-wicket partnership of 162 with O'Brien.
"Words can't describe how I feel at the moment, just on top of the world.
"We decided if the ball was there that we'd have a go at it. I was just trying to knock it around for Kev. He's got the power. That was my job and he was playing the big shots."
