The unfancied Canadians have already tipped over Cricket Australia Masters Over 40's and have won 3 of their 4 games. Conversely, the star-studded West Indies side have only won 1 of their 3 games and need a win to keep their semi-final hopes alive.Scorecard: cricheroes.com/scorecard/27842990/imc-over-40s-world-cup-2026-guyana/west-indies-vs-canada New Zealand Over-40s Cricket will need their best performance of the tournament so far to overcome a Pakistan Veterans Cricket Association side that hasn't really been tested other than their loss to England.
