Last updated on: March 4, 2011 09:52 IST

Kevin O'Brien smashed the fastest ever World Cup ton to help Ireland register a stunning three-wicket win over England in a Group B match on Wednesday.

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.
