IMC Over-40s World Cup - Day 2The eagerly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan Veterans Cricket Association quickly looked like it would become a mismatch as India slumped to 38/7 before Murtaza Ali (48*) and Amit Mishra (38) helped the total up to 143. At 19/3 it looked like it could be a contest, but 21-Test veteran Adnan Akmal and former first-class batsman Sheharyar Ghani each scored 63 not out, adding 125 unbeaten runs for the 4th wicket to see Pakistan home.Scorecard: cricheroes.com/scorecard/27739343/imc-over-40s-world-cup-2026-guyana/india-vs-pakistan/scorecardCricket Australia Masters Over 40's absolutely thrashed Veterans Cricket Association of Namibia by 9 wickets, chasing the target of 227 in just 15.3 overs - going at a scarcely believable 14 runs an over in pursuit of what seemed a reasonable score. The Namibians would have been fairly happy with their 222, led by 63 to Gerrie Snyman. Aussie captain Steven Paulsen followed his 5-fer against Cricket West Indies Masters Association yesterday with 4/35 today. But Australian opener Glen Batticciotto went berserk, smashing 126 not out from just 46 balls, with 11 sixes and 12 fours. Paulsen joined in the fun with 72 not out from 34 balls and Batticciotto hit three consecutive sixes to finish the game.Scorecard: cricheroes.com/scorecard/27742466/imc-over-40s-world-cup-2026-guyana/namibia-vs-australia/scorecardVeterans Cricket of South Africa burst through the 400-run barrier, piling on 408/6 against Wales Over 40's Cricket, led by 134 (98 balls) to Brandon Buckley and 126 (68 balls) to Christiaan Ritter, the pair adding 195 for the third wicket. Ritter was particularly savage, blazing 13 sixes. Reinhard Strydom then came in and whacked 7 sixes of his own as he clattered 77* from 43 balls. The shell-shocked Welsh made no real attempt to chase the massive target and their innings drifted to a close at 156 from 38 overs, with Piet Botha taking 3/20 from 7.Scorecard: cricheroes.com/scorecard/27738284/imc-over-40s-world-cup-2026-guyana/south-africa-vs-wales/liveEngland Over 40s Cricket outclassed New Zealand Over-40s Cricket , winning by 129 runs at Mt St George. Led by 90 to the consistent James Duffy - who now has 493 runs at 82.16 in O40Is - and 57 from 36 balls to Ben Frazer, the English posted 286/9, despite slowing down towards the end of the innings as Ben Rapson took 3/51.New Zealand raced after the target, with Dewald Strydom playing some beautiful shots off his legs in reaching 73 from 49 balls before suffering an eye injury. The wheels fell off NZ's chase at that point and they tumbled from 84/1 to 157 all out, as Steven Naylor took 5/25.Scorecard: cricheroes.com/scorecard/27740989/imc-over-40s-world-cup-2026-guyana/england-vs-new-zealand/score...CaCCMC CCMC piled on a massive 443/4 against a Colombian side making its international debut. Nitin Gosain walloped 11 sixes and 11 fours en route to 145 not out from just 69 balls. Former West Indian Test player Shane Shillingford joined in the fun, smacking 9 sixes in his 139 not out from a relatively sedate 77 balls. (However, records from this match won't count in the official stats because Colombia are not a full IMC member country.)The outclassed Colombians could only manage 112 in reply, with Sugith Karunaratne taking 3/25 with his leg spin.Scorecard: cricheroes.com/scorecard/27758589/imc-over-40s-world-cup-2026-guyana/canada-vs-colombia/scorecard

IMC Over-40s World Cup - Day 1 resultsCricket Australia Masters Over 40's have put on a clinical display to tip over a star-studded Cricket West Indies Masters Association side at the Providence Stadium.
