Canada came into this game with hopes of beating England and making the Super League quarter-finals, but those were effectively ended after they conceded what was their highest-ever total of 383/7 in an U-19 ODI, and confirmed after they were bowled out for 101.

In another tie, the West Indies rode on a superb ton from Alick Athanaze (116 not out) before Bhaskar Yadram (5/18) and Jeavor Royal (4/25) rammed home their advantage, securing victory over Kenya by 222 runs.
