The Netherland's number-nine batsman Rippon hit a four and six from the final two deliveries off Mooney to tie the game. Ireland on Tuesday qualified for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 after a dramatic last-gasp tie with the Netherlands.The Netherlands' number-nine batsman Michael Rippon hit a four and a six from the final two deliveries off John Mooney to snatch a point for his side.
But Ireland's point was good enough to see them top the ICC World Cup League Championship and advance, for the third successive time, to ICC's flagship event that will be staged in Australia and New Zealand in 2015.
After Tuesday's result, Ireland topped the table on 20 points, with nine wins from 12 matches.
There is still one place up for grabs from this tournament with four sides - Scotland, Netherlands, Afghanistan, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) - all still capable of claiming second position.
While the top two sides from the ICC World Cricket League Championship will go forward to the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015, the six sides that do not qualify from this event will have a second chance to qualify through the ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier New Zealand 2014, alongside Hong Kong, Nepal, Papua New Guinea and Uganda.The 10 teams will lock horns for the remaining two positions in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.Score summary from the ICC World Cricket League Championship one-day international between the Netherlands and Ireland at Amstelveen on Tuesday:
Ireland 268-5 (E Joyce 96 n.o., N O'Brien 50, P Stirling 49) off 50 overs
Netherlands 268-9 (W Barresi 46, D van Bunge 45, E Szwarczynski 44; K O'Brien 3-52) off 50 overs

Pakistan great Hanif Mohammad has cancer operation
The 78-year-old underwent an operation that saw his right liver lobe and gall bladder removed.
Nottingham: Pakistan great Hanif Mohammad has had an operation for liver cancer, a family friend told AFP on Wednesday.
The 78-year-old underwent an operation at London Bridge hospital on Tuesday that saw his right liver lobe and gall bladder removed.File Photo: Hanif Mohammad in 1954.The operation was deemed a success, with surgeon Robert Hutchins saying: "It (the cancer) has been diagnosed at an early stage and it has not spread anywhere else."Mohammad is now set to spend one week in hospital for observation.
The first star of Pakistan cricket following the country's creation after the partition of India in 1947, Mohammad was also the first batsman to be known as the 'Little Master' -- a nickname now carried by India batting great Sachin Tendulkar.
Mohammad played the longest innings in Test history -- a mammoth 970-minute (16 hours and 10 minutes), 337 against the West Indies at Bridgetown in 1958.
Mohammad followed that a year later with what was then the record first-class score of 499, for Karachi against Bahawalpur in Karachi -- a mark that stood for 35 years until West Indies star Brian Lara made 501 not out for Warwickshire against Durham in the English County Championship at Edgbaston in 1994.
Three of Mohammad's brothers -- Wazir, Mushtaq and Sadiq -- also played for Pakistan, as did Hanif's son Shoaib.
