Below is the list of tables from the database along with their columns and datatype. Need to generate an accurate SQL query for the question.
Only use the columns present in the respective table. Only use the columns which are required to generate the SQL query. Only use table joins if required and not otherwise.

### Tables ###
TABLE: CREATE TABLE table_name_56 (matches INTEGER, year VARCHAR, wins VARCHAR, losses VARCHAR)

### Question ###
What is the number of matches when the wins are less than 8, and losses of 7, in 2011?

### Accurate SQL ###

SELECT SUM(matches) FROM table_name_56 WHERE wins < 8 AND losses = 7 AND year = "2011"
