Bangalore M Chinnaswamy cricket stadium saw a miracle last night where the irish hero Kevin O'Brien come up with something far impossible from an immature country like Ireland.When Ireland had slumped to 113 for 5 for 25, the crowd was just usual watching another lesser team was about to lose the match as they need an average of almost 9 per over for next 25 overs. Impossible? Everyone have thought so, but obviously Kevin O'Brien and Co didn't. With 13 fours and 6 sixes, Brien has registered the fastest inning ever in the world cup.
What evolved from the next 25 overs was truly incredible, as Ireland scored at a run rate of 8.93, losing only two wickets that too run out while doing so, in the process which sets up numerous records in the world cups that night.

- It was the highest ever run chase by any country in the entire world cups.
- Ireland's 329 is also the highest total by a non-Test-playing team against a Test-playing side.
- Kevin O'Brien blasted the fastest World Cup century, and he didn't just edge past the earlier record; he utterly demolished it, bettering Matthew Hayden's mark by 16 deliveries.
It will be a day of glory for all cricket lovers and specially the one from Ireland. Last night was a day which will certainly give a new edge to Irish Cricket and a real inspiration for all new countries in the WC 2011.
Whats more fascinating is, India's next combat is with the same team on the same ground on 6th March 2011. Watch out for more action in the world cup.
