Not that I know of at Under-19 level. It has been done at senior level (by affiliates too), most notably at the ACC Trophy in 2006, which saw a few 400+ scores, though that was mainly because of the vast gulf in class between the top and bottom Asian sides. I'd bet that the highest score in any international match is the 499/6 Saudi Arabia scored against Brunei in that tournament, though when the number 8 batsman can score a 39 ball century, you start to ask questions about the quality of the bowling attack!

Canada v Bermuda should be a good match clearly the best teams of this lot. Good to see Argentina pick up a win.

Congrats to Bermuda thought Canada would take the match.
It looked like a much better day for watching exciting cricket going by the closeness of these matches.

Canada's innings, despite the high score, contained just one six.

Wow! That is amazing. Must have run of lot of those runs. There batsmen must've gotten a work out with all those runs.
