Each cricketing nation is no stranger to upsets wins, and losses. For minnow sides, dismantling one of the game's best XIs comes around like a blue moon.
From Ireland to Zimbabwe, Bangladesh to Kenya, some of the smaller nations have chalked up some of the biggest wins ever seen on a cricket field.
Here we look at five of the most famous wins from minnow nations.
Having been involved in just the third tie in World Cup history against Zimbabwe four years earlier, Ireland were no strangers to dramatic matches. Yet, coming up against cricketing powerhouse, England, in their second match of the tournament, only the most optimistic fan could have predicted a similar result here.
Indeed, after England won the toss and blasted their way to 3/278 after 43 overs, things looked dire for the Irish. The English superstars had come to play with Jonathon Trott making 92, Ian Bell 81 and Kevin Pietersen 59. Late wickets from John Mooney (four for 63) and Trent Johnston (two for 58) restricted the total a little, but the Lions finished on a very imposing 327.
After Ireland fell to 5/111 in response, with Graeme Swann spinning a web around the top order, the Bangalore fans would've been forgiven for thinking that the game was virtually over. Indeed, Wisden cricket writer George Dobell reflected that he had already started writing up his report on an English victory.
Despite only averaging in the twenties for his whole career, this was pink-haired Kevin O'Brien's moment of greatness. He immediately dispatched Swann, Anderson and Broad for sixes after arriving at the crease and kept dispatching them on his way to the fastest century in World Cup history, off just 50 balls. When he was finally dismissed on 113, Ireland only needed eleven to win off two overs. With a four off the first ball of the final over, John Mooney sealed the deal for the Irish and the celebrations began. Out of nowhere, Ireland had humbled the old enemy and written themselves into the history books.
The year was 1983 and after doing everything humanly possible to make the World Cup - including selling cakes to raise money - Zimbabwe were on their way to England. Yet, as they arrived at Trent Bridge for their first match, simply being there was widely seen as the best achievement they could hope for.
Facing Australia, nerves were acute. Batsman Dave Houghton reflected that the Australian players were their "heroes" and that playing against them seemed surreal.
At 5/94, it seemed that the stage was too big for them. Yet, up against Lillee and Thomson, their talismanic all-rounder Duncan Fletcher scored a classy 69 to lead them to a total of 293 from the 60 overs. Despite the strong finish, with the likes of David Hookes and Kepler Wessels in Australia's shed, it looked more than a few runs short.
Australia were looking steady at 4/138 in response before Wessels was run-out for 76 by a sensational Jack Heron direct hit. From there, Duncan Fletcher made himself a hero of Zimbabwean cricket for a second time in the match, taking 4/ 42 and subjecting Australia to a 13-run loss.
The significance was bigger than the result, however. Zimbabwe had shown that they belonged at the international level. Perhaps inspired by this result, they went on to have several decades of overachieving. The peak was reached in 1999 when they finished fifth in the World Cup.
In the lead-up to the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies, Bangladesh was in a state of turmoil. Planned elections had been abandoned and a military junta had taken over. Yet, in their first game, against arch-rivals India, the cricket team showed little sign of these difficulties.
Bangladesh's fastest ever bowler, Mashrafe Mortaza, tore into the experienced top order of Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid, finishing with figures of 4/38. From the other end, the retiring left-arm off-spinner, Mohammed Shafique, picked up 3/58. India were 9/159. Even a mighty tenth-wicket partnership by Zaheer Khan and Munaf Patel only managed to get them to 191. Bangladesh started to believe.
The mood soon went from belief to euphoric disbelief, however, as Mushfiqur Rahim (56 off 107) and Tamim Iqbal (51 off 53) led the way to victory. When they surpassed India's total with nine balls to spare, the millions of Bangladeshis watching back at home let out a collective roar. Defying a curfew, they celebrated late into the night. In the darkest hour, hope was renewed.
Significantly, many of the stars in the match were incredibly young. Mushfiqur Rahim and Shakib Al Hasan were only twenty while Tamim Iqbal was only seventeen. These players would not only go on to lead Bangladesh out of the group stage for the first time but into the greatest period of success in their history.
In just their eleventh test match, Zimbabwe were hosting Pakistan for the first time, in Harare.
After losing their first three wickets for just 42 runs, the two brothers, Grant and Andy Flower, delivered a mammoth 269-run stand. Andy Flower was dismissed for 156 but Grant battled on for a marathon 523 balls, finishing not out on 201. With a third century coming from Guy Whittall, Zimbabwe declared on their highest ever total, 544 runs.
In response, Pakistan were dismissed twice for 480 runs, as pace bowler Heath Streak picked up six in the first innings and three in the second.
This delivered Zimbabwe their first test win in emphatic fashion. While they went on to lose the remaining two games, one thing was clear. Zimbabwe had two genuine superstars in the form of Grant and Flower. Grant finished his career with an average of 30 and Flower with a phenomenal average of 52.
Having previously won only one match at a World Cup, hopes were low for Kenya in 2003, despite the country being co-hosts with South Africa and Zimbabwe.
Yet, after being gifted a victory courtesy of New Zealand refusing to play a match for security reasons, they went on to also beat Sri Lanka, Canada and Bangladesh in the group stage. In the Super Six stage, they sensationally beat Zimbabwe after bowling them out for just 133 and advanced to the semi-finals.
Their best victory was against Sri Lanka. A Kennedy Otieno 60 delivered a total of 210 for Kenya. Then, a brilliant performance by Collins Obuya to take 5/24 subjected a Sri Lanka team that included stars such as Mahela Jayawardena and Kumar Sangakarra, to a 53-run loss.
In the semi-finals, their fairytale run ended, as they lost to India. A Sourav Ganguly century led to a total of 270 and Kenya only managed 179 in response. Nevertheless, they remain the only non-test-playing nation to make the semi-finals of a World Cup.
