Historic win for Ireland

Ireland recorded a historic 74-run win over Bangladesh at the Kensington Oval to open a new chapter in the nation's sporting history.

Their second victory over a Test opponent in the ICC World Cup - having beaten Pakistan in the first stage - ensured their permanent one-day international status.

William Porterfield's 85, backed by Kevin O'Brien (48) and Trent Johnston (30), contributed for the side's 243 for seven.

Bangladesh, who had announced their arrival as a major power with wins over India and South Africa, were never allowed to raise their chase to a threatening level.

Four bowlers took two wickets each as the Tigers were dismissed for 169 in 42.2 overs.
