Ireland have registered World Cup victories over Pakistan, England, West Indies and Zimbabwe and Bangladesh in T20 World cup.
A team which has a penchant for beating higher-ranked sides at major tournaments, Ireland will begin their T20 World Cup first round campaign against a rising Netherlands, here on Monday.
The Group A match will be vital to hopes of both the teams progressing to the Super 12 stage. The Netherlands have reasons to be confident, having won seven of their 12 T20Is against Ireland. They also come out on top in their recent ODI series.
Ireland have registered World Cup victories over Pakistan (2007), England (2011), West Indies (2015) and Zimbabwe (2015), and Bangladesh (2009 T20 World Cup).
