World Cup 2007 Format and group stages

The tournament witnessed participation by 16 teams which were highest till now and three more than the previous edition of the world cup. All of the 16 teams were been divided into four groups with two top teams from each group qualifying into the “Super 8” stages. The format was more or less the same as the “Super 6” used in the previous edition with the number of teams being the only difference in the process.

The tournament also saw the “referral system” to be introduced for the very first time where the umpires can refer the decision of a certain cat hot the third umpire. Also, the teams were supposed to bat at least 20 over’s to ascertain a result in a rain-affected game. Talking about the super 8 qualifications, Australia and South Africa qualified from Group A, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh qualifying from Group B, New Zealand, and England from Group C and West Indies and Ireland from Group D.

World Cup 2007 Super 8 and Semifinals

The Super 8 carried the same concept as the previous world cup where the qualifying teams were carrying their points scored against the fellow qualifiers form the same group. A big name like Australia, Sri Lanka, South Africa, and New Zealand qualified to the semifinals after grabbing the top spots in the super 8 round robin stage.

Sri Lanka and New Zealand world cup 2007 semifinal

The first semi-final was been held between Sri Lanka and New Zealand where the Lankans secured an easy victory by 81 runs against the Kiwis. The second semifinal was a “No contest” by every means and the Australian team easily thumped the South African team by 7 wickets in a low scoring match.

The finals: Australia completing their Treble!

The Grand finale once again proved to be a one-sided affair as the Australian team completed an easy victory by defeating the Sri Lankan team by 53 runs as per the Duckworth Lewis system. The match has been held at the Kensington Oval ground and got halted by rain at the very end of the Sri Lankan innings. This was the reason Australia got away with a victory based on the D/L system and completed their treble of the world cup trophies.
