Ireland pulled off yet another Cricket World Cup upset on Monday when it raced to 307-6 to beat two-time champion the West Indies' by four wickets in a Pool B match, taking a giant stride toward the tournament's quarterfinals.
Paul Stirling ignored the ball that clattered into his visor early in his innings to make 92, then Ed Joyce took up the chase and made 84 as Ireland surpassed the West Indies' total with 21 balls, becoming the first team at the tournament to win while batting second.
Finally, Niall O'Brien made an unbeaten 79 from 60 balls to complete the job, holding his composure during a late flurry of wickets which saw Ireland slip from 273-2 to 291-6 and set Irish hearts racing.
