England Vs Ireland match result 2nd march
Those who watched the 27th feb India Vs England match in the Bangalore Stadium would have not thought in the wildest dreams that the side that came so close of chasing the mammoth target of 339 would be beaten by the so called minnows "Ireland". This world cup is turning into a really excitement competition although not likely 'between bat and ball'. The subcontinent pitches with their flat surfaces offering not much of support to the bowlers are becoming the witness of high scoring matches. In past a score of 300 odd was considered a very defend-able total, but now with the event in this part of the world and batsmen used to the newer format of cricket we would see many of the matches with scores beyond 300.
Ireland's Kevin O' Brian's knock was fantastic to watch. His batting made the chase look so easy. At one time for some 100 odd runs they had lost 5 wickets and then this man, now the Hero for Ireland won them the match against England. The result of this match has certainly changed the way the coming match on this Sunday b/w India and England would be watched. Now Ireland aren't any minnows!!

27th Feb 2011 India Vs England match result
"A match to tie for!", thats what TOI referred to this eventful match. Once India scored a total of 338 runs who would have thought that England would have any chance of even coming closer to the this daunting total. But this is not true in the modern day cricket, now scores of 300 and likes are chase able targets, we have seen in past and this match was a witness to this new era of cricket. Twenty -Twenty and IPL have changed the way cricket was played, now we will often see these kind of scores and such close matches.
Sachin, The God, was in fabulous form and after a while I was pleased to see him play so aggressively. 338, and we as Indians thought the match is over and England at least would not give India such a fight. But we all know what it turned out. As Sachin was a star for the Indian batting innings so was Strauss who out performed Sachin in this match by playing the much needed 158 from 145 balls. At one time it seemed the England team would easily win the match but then Zaheer turned the match into home team's favor by pulling two crucial wickets in successive deliveries. Ajmal shahzad's six in the last over made the match even more interesting and last ball was the decider of the match. England needing 2 to win from 1 ball, but could only manage one run thus the match ending in a tie.
What would be a better result than this for two teams putting up such a wonderful show. None of them deserved to lose!!
