Wondered how Ireland and Netherland manage to upset major teams in concluded T20WC. Than found out that they have been doing quite well in recent past(since 2011). Although not many games against major teams, yet they have been doing pretty well.
In this World Cup we saw few upsets
1- Ireland beating Zimbabwe
2- Hong Kong beating Bangladesh
3- Holland beating Ireland in record chase of 190 .
4- Holland almost beating SA
5- Holland beating England

I was very impressed by Ireland and Netherland. They both started playing T20I only since 2008, and constant progressed. I also like Zimbabwe’s stats, from not winning a single game in 2011, 2012, to winning games in next 2 years. Infact last 2 years have been very fruitful for all associate teams.
