Bangladesh was erupting in nationwide celebrations on Friday after its cricket team beat England in the World Cup. In Mohali, the West Indies rediscovered their big hitting skills to overcome Ireland.

England, which just a few months ago was beating Australia in test cricket, has been a model of inconsistency at the World Cup and put in a dire performance against the unfancied co-hosts, managing just 225 and then bowling poorly.

Bangladeshi ground staff ran a lap of honor and high-ranking officials leapt with joy when young tailenders Mahmudullah Riad and Shafiul Islam put on an unbeaten 58 to steer their team to victory in the Group B game.
