2007 Cricket World Cup Super Eight stage

none The Super Eight stage of the 2007 Cricket World Cup was scheduled between 27 March 2007 and 21 April 2007, and determined the four qualifiers for the semi-finals of the tournament. Matches were held in Antigua, Bridgetown, Barbados, Georgetown, and Grenada. Each team carried forward the result from the other team qualifying from its group in the group stage of the tournament, so the Super Eight was essentially an eight-team round robin competition. Two points were awarded for a win and one for a tie or a no result. If teams were tied on points, the team with the most wins was ranked ahead, and if this is also equal net run rate determined the ranking order.

Hayden added 98 for the third wicket with Michael Clarke before Dwayne Bravo broke through, and Andrew Symonds and Michael Hussey could not provide more than 15 runs to the team cause. Hussey got out the total at 234 for five in the 41st over, but Hayden eventually led Australia to break loose in the last 10 overs, taking 99 from them despite a 20-minute break for rain. Shane Watson's 33 from 26 balls also helped push Australia to 322 for 6 after the full 50 overs. This was the sixth successive score above 300 for Australia, a new One Day International record. Drizzle and wet ground conditions delayed the start of West Indies' reply and the game was eventually abandoned to resume the following day. They lost three wickets in the first 20 overs, and though Brian Lara and Denesh Ramdin contributed fifties, they required 105 to win off 28 balls when Daren Powell was bowled by Shaun Tait. Earlier, Glenn McGrath had removed Chris Gayle, Marlon Samuels and Dwayne Bravo for single-figure scores, thus moving within one wicket of Wasim Akram's World Cup record. This was the first international match at the new Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The stadium was barely half-filled for the game, causing criticism from notables such as West Indies' captain Brian Lara and commentator Mark Nicholas.http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/wc2007/content/story/287680.html Lara upset by low turnout Andrew Miller ESPNcricinfo 29 March 2007 Sri Lanka vs South Africa 28 March 2007 SRI 209 (49.3 overs) Tillakaratne Dilshan 58 (76) Charl Langeveldt 5/39 (10 overs) RSA 212/9 (48.2 overs) Jacques Kallis 86 (110) Lasith Malinga 4/54 (9.2 overs) South Africa won by 1 wicket Scorecard Providence Stadium, Guyana Steve Bucknor (WI) and Daryl Harper (Aus) Charl Langeveldt (SA) and Lasith Malinga (SL) Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat, and lost their first five wickets for 98, with Charl Langeveldt taking two in his first spell. Tillakaratne Dilshan and Russel Arnold built a sixth-wicket stand of 97 in nearly 20 overs, but Dilshan was caught off Makhaya Ntini's bowling, and then Charl Langeveldt took three wickets in five balls as Sri Lanka were bowled out in the final over for 209. In reply, Chaminda Vaas had AB de Villiers bowled in the first over, but Jacques Kallis added 95 with Graeme Smith and 65 with Herschelle Gibbs, leading South Africa to within four runs of victory with his 86. Then Sri Lanka's Lasith Malinga struck. He became the first bowler to take four wickets with four consecutive deliveries in international cricket, though South Africa managed a run off Vaas in the intermediate over. South Africa now needed three runs to win with one wicket in hand, and eleven deliveries went by before Robin Peterson got an outside edge to a Malinga ball, which went out of reach of slip and went fine for four.http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/wc2007/content/story/287599.html South Africa survive Malinga's menacing spell Siddhartha Vaidyanathan ESPNcricinfo 30 March 2007 West Indies vs New Zealand 29 March 2007 WIN 177 (44.4 overs) Chris Gayle 44 (56) Jacob Oram 3/23 (8 overs) NZL 179/3 (39.2 overs) Scott Styris 80 (90) Daren Powell 2/39 (10 overs) New Zealand won by 7 wickets Scorecard Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound Asad Rauf (Pak) and Rudi Koertzen (SA) Jacob Oram (NZ) New Zealand won the toss and elected to field.

Kyle McCallan was the most economical bowler for Ireland, and also took the wicket of Pietersen. Chasing 267 in reply, Niall O'Brien's third One Day International fifty and his second of the World Cup helped Ireland to a total of 139 for six in the 37th over, but despite faster than a run a ball scores from Trent Johnston and Andrew White Ireland fell 48 runs short as Andrew Flintoff took the final two wickets, though they exceeded their previous World Cup record total by seven runs.
