Morgan probably thought his ton would result in an Ireland win
Canada kept their World Cricket League final hopes alive after successfully chasing down 309 to beat Ireland.

Qaisar Ali smashed the winning boundary with two balls remaining to secure a remarkable six-wicket win.

Ireland had been put into bat and posted 308-7 in their 50 overs with Eoin Morgan hitting 115 off 106 balls.

But Ashish Bagai kick-started the run-chase with 122 off 132 balls, with John Davison adding a quickfire 57 before Ali saw them home.

It was the 14th-highest chase to win an ODI and the best by an Associate country.

Canada play Kenya with both vying for the second final spot against Scotland on Wednesday.
