The Super Eight stage of the 2007 Cricket World Cup, held from 27 March to 21 April 2007 across venues in Antigua, Barbados, Guyana, and Grenada, was an eight-team round-robin where teams carried forward results from their group-stage matches. The stage was marked by major upsets, as India and Pakistan were shockingly eliminated by Bangladesh and Ireland, respectively, while Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies advanced with strong starts. In a standout match, Matthew Hayden smashed a record 158 runs for Australia against the West Indies at the new Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, helping his team post a massive total. Another thrilling game saw Lasith Malinga of Sri Lanka achieve a historic feat against South Africa, becoming the first bowler to take four wickets in four balls in a World Cup, though his team ultimately fell short. Ultimately, the top four teams from the table—Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and South Africa—qualified for the semi-finals, capping off a stage filled with dramatic upsets and record-breaking performances.
