2007 Indoor Cricket World Cup - Semi Finals

Semi Finals

The World Cup finals operated under a different format in each division. In the men's division the winner of the two semi finals proceeded to the final and the remaining two sides competed for the bronze medal match.

The World Cup Plate final was contested between the loser of the bronze medal match and the highest ranked side from the bottom three during the Super 4's stage.

The women's division employed a slightly more complicated format. The fourth and fifth placed sides faced off against one another with the winner taking on third place to earn a right in the preliminary final. The top two sides competed in a major semi final with the winner progressing to the final and the loser taking the second spot in the preliminary final. The remaining spot in the World Cup final was assumed by the winner of the preliminary final.
