The second Afro-Asia Cup was played from 6 June until 10 June 2007, hosted by India. The three ODI and one Twenty20 matches were broadcast live on ESPN, after Nimbus had pulled out from the deal with Asian Cricket Council. The Twenty20 match did not have official status as a Twenty20 international or a regular Twenty20 match.
Asia XI claimed the first title in the competition's history, following a tied series in 2005, with a 3–0 whitewash of the African XI. Asian XI captain Mahela Jayawardene was named player of the tournament for his 217 runs, including a half century and a century, in the three ODIs.
