BRIDGETOWN, April 16: Ireland's upset World Cup win over Bangladesh earned them entry into the main International Cricket Council (ICC) one-day ranking list. Debutants Ireland, an associate team, beat Bangladesh by 74 runs in a Super Eights match between the tournament's two giant-killers on Sunday in Bridgetown.

It was the second win over a Test team for the World Cup debutants.

Ireland scored a shock win over 1992 winners Pakistan to knock them out in the first round and the win over Bangladesh was their first of the second-stage Super Eights.

According to ICC rules, an associate team will enter the main ranking list if they beat two Test teams.

There are now 12 teams on the One-day International ranking list, the 10 Test-playing nations plus 2003 semi-finalists Kenya and Ireland.—Reuters
