In which instance? I mean, the guerrillas lost in Malaysia. Their "victory" in Ireland was due more to the British public being war-weary after World War I and a failure of British Intelligence to realize that the Irish Republican Army was on the verge of extinction after the blundered attack on the Customs House in Dublin. EOKA could have been said to have been effective, largely because the British weren't that determined to hold onto Cyprus.
The advantage irregulars have is typically that they know the lay of the land, and they come from the population of that land. Thus, they tend to enjoy more local support and intimacy with the terrain.
