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.
By beating India in the opening match, Pakistan also qualified for the Final. 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. Lakshmipathy Balaji of India finished the series as top wicket-taker capturing 6 wickets, with Shahid Afridi of Pakistan taking 4.
