The Videocon Cup was the name of the One Day International cricket tournament in the Netherlands during August 2004. It was a tri-nation series between Australia, India and Pakistan. All matches took place at the VRA Cricket Ground, Amstelveen. The tournament preceded, and acted as a warm-up for, the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy.
The tournament was disrupted by rain, with only one of the three group stage matches reaching a conclusion. Australia refused to reschedule their two washed-out group matches, and qualified for the final without completing a game.[1][2]
By beating India in the opening match, Pakistan also qualified for the Final.[3] Australia beat Pakistan in the Final to win the series.
Shoaib Malik of Pakistan emerged as the top run-scorer with 104 runs, with an average of 52.00; Matthew Hayden of Australia followed close behind with 88 runs.[4] Lakshmipathy Balaji of India finished the series as top wicket-taker capturing 6 wickets, with Shahid Afridi of Pakistan taking 4.[5]
