There were a total of 35 matches played in the men's division and 26 matches played in the women's division. The men's division was split into two stages (in addition to finals) with each team playing each other once before being split into two groups, the top four and the bottom three. The top four teams progressed to a Super 4's stage where they again played each other once in order to be ranked for the semi-finals. The semi finals featured Australia, England, New Zealand and South Africa with Australia defeating South Africa in the final to record their sixth consecutive World Cup. The top three teams contested a subsidiary title, won by England. Whilst the women's division was not split into separate stages it did employ a more complicated semi final system that gave all five nations the opportunity of progressing through to the final during the finals stage. South Africa advanced straight through to the final after defeating Australia in the semi-finals stage, though Australia then prevailed over New Zealand and were able to reverse their semi final result to defeat South Africa in the final. This was the fifth consecutive World Cup for Australia. The 2007 Junior World Series of Indoor Cricket was held alongside this event. Host Selection The World Cup was awarded to England by the WICF at the conclusion of the previous World Cup. As a result, England became the first nation to host the World Cup twice having held the first tournament in 1995. Venue The England Indoor Cricket Association determined that the Action Indoor Sports Stadium in Bristol would host all World Cup matches and Bristol became the host city as a result. All World Cup matches were played at the same venue.

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 teams 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 team 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 teams faced off against one another with the winner taking on third place to earn a right in the preliminary final. The top two teams 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.
