The 2004 Super Fours was the third cricket Super Fours season. It took place in May and June and saw 4 teams compete in a 50 over league and, for the first time, a knockout Twenty20 tournament. V Team were the winners of both tournaments.
Competition format In the one day tournament, teams played each other twice in a round-robin format, with the winners of the group winning the tournament. Matches were played using a one day format with 50 overs per side.
The group worked on a points system with positions within the divisions being based on the total points . Points were awarded as follows:
Win : 15 points. Tie : 6 points. Loss : 0 points.
A Twenty20 competition was added for the 2004 edition of the Super Fours, which consisted of two semi-finals, with the winners proceeding to the Final and the losers playing in a third-place play-off.
