Heros and Villains..31
Bangladesh Humbled by Ireland
Ireland added one more feather in their cap by winning a super eight match against Bangaldesh. Just as Bangladesh had surprised earlier by beating South Africa, Ireland had the satisfaction of being a grade above the "minnows" title with which they started this World Cup.
The NCR table however did not change since none of the first 20 places were affected by the match.
DT Jhonston of Ireland however was the NCR hero of the day with an alround performance.
The top 20 NCR table is now as follows.
