Ireland defeating England wasn't that a big upset really. England never won a T20 international against another European team (lost twice to Netherlands, lost to Ireland, and there is also a no result with Ireland)

Namibia, Zimbabwe, Scotland, and Ireland final 4. Calling it rn

I know but it's always fun seeing Ireland do good
Especially considering how england were considered one of the favourites coming in

Namibia and Scotland didn't qualify for the super 12 unfortunately
They defeated sri lanka and west indies in the qualifiers for the super 12 but unfortunately felt short as Ireland and Netherlands were the ones that qualified as namibia barely lost against ireland

One thing to make you feel better west indies failed to qualify because of the defeats they got
(They have won this tournament twice before)

Yep they were usually doing good in recent events But this event they haven't gotten the start they have wanted 2 incredibly close games which they were winning easily at one point snatched away by brilliant comebacks

That means nothing except for memes. England is a world cup favourite with their white ball team.

Nah they are used to this
Average life cycle of new zealand team
1.come in as underdogs after having bad recent performances
2.defeat everyone and get to semi /finals of the world cup
3.choke there and lose unless the opposition is india
- Smile and move on
Edit: wait i just realised you meant the title as not the upset but the commentary in the finals of 2019 world cup i completely blanked out there ....

Most Irish dont even believe cricket is a real sport. So if they are beating England, its because they thought it would be fun to do.

Irish India final?
kernpanic t1_iu1qwsi wrote
Snatched? They lost the India match by some horrific bowling in the last over. You cannot just bowl noballs and wides in a final over when its that close.
Made for a very exciting game though.

I'm a bit of a fairweather fan these days but nothing made me happier than watching McCullum get knocked over by Starc after all his "we're going to smash them out of the park" rhetoric before the World Cup final

Truly spectacular. I know nothing about cricket but it seems to me Pakistani fans are on the cutting edge of meme production in that sport. Wasn’t the angry hands on hip meme guy a Pakistani cricket fan too?

It really isn't. You cannot belittle Zimbabwe's genuine hardwork for your entitlement.

The pressure by the brilliant batting kohli was doing also could have played in the bowlers head And that wide was the type of ball that got dinesh kartik out so he tried to bowl that again

Dude cmon, any player on any team has a real good day and it's over.
Lets make it a ODI or test to see where Zimbabwe really stand?

I think it was against the Dutch

ODI probably idk this is still a real world cup
kernpanic t1_iu32dqg wrote
Fair.. India certainly put the pressure on well.
I really havent enjoyed 20 20 for the last few years, but that match was one of the best. You couldnt script it if you tried.

Cool, they had a good day. Let's play it 100 times over and they might win 10-15 times.
T20 they probably win 20-30 out of 100
