Ravi Bopara 101 not out off 75 balls v Ireland in Malahide 2013

Score on arrival: 48 for 4, chasing 266

Final score: 274 for 4, won by 6 wickets with 42 balls to spare

A one-off ODI in Ireland was threatening to swing the home side's way when James Taylor was bowled by Tim Murtagh, with 226 runs still needed off 210 balls.
 

Ravi Bopara combined with captain and hometown boy Eoin Morgan to get those 226 runs off just 28 overs, racing to his only ODI hundred off just 74 balls.

For a packed crowd in Malahide, who had seen encouraging signs of a shock victory all afternoon, it was all a bit of a kick in the teeth, all the more stinging given that Morgan had played such a key role.

Kevin O'Brien 113 off 63 balls v England Bengaluru in ICC World Cup 2011

Score on arrival: 106 for 4, chasing 328

Final score: 329 for 7, won by 3 wickets with five balls to spare

Ireland had famously beaten Pakistan to seal their progression to the Super Eights at the 2007 World Cup, but this victory over the old enemy was arguably an even greater glory than that Saint Patrick's Day afternoon in Jamaica.

 Almost halfway into their pursuit of 328, Ireland were going nowhere at 106 for 4 when O'Brien arrived, which became 111 for 5 in the 25th over. O'Brien joined forces with Alex Cusack to put on a match-changing 162, en route to clubbing the fastest World Cup hundred off just 50 balls.

By the time he departed at 317 for 7, O'Brien had helped write another famous chapter in Irish sport, as they completed a memorable final-over victory.
