The second '''Afro-Asia Cup''' was played from 6 June until 10 June 2007, hosted by India. The three [[One Day International|ODI]] and one [[Twenty20]] matches were broadcast live on [[ESPN]], after [[Nimbus Broadcasting Corporation|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 (sport)|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 [[One Day International|ODIs]]. This cup Held the Record for highest overall runs scored in a 3-match series with 1892 runs being scored until it is broken by India vs England in January 2017 with an overall total of 2090 runs.<ref name="ESPNcricinfo">{{ cite web |URL=https://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-england-2016-17/content/story/1079017 |title= Highest runs in a 3-match series |accessdate= 23 January 2017 |work=ESPNcricinfo}}</ref>
