Ireland stunned Pakistan by beating them by 3 wickets (with 32 balls remaining) in Group D at the World Cup at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica.
Ireland won the toss and elected to field first.
After rain and bad light delayed proceedings, Ireland's target was reduced by the Duckworth-Lewis method to 128 runs from 47 overs.
Ireland's eventual victory eliminates Pakistan from the World Cup.
This was Ireland's first ever win over a team with test match status, and their first win in a World Cup (being their first).
