The 2004 World Cup was contested by sixteen teams, including one (Uganda) making its tournament debut. After an initial group stage, the top eight teams played off in a super league to decide the tournament champions, with the non-qualifiers playing a separate "plate" competition. Pakistan and the West Indies eventually progressed to the final, played at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka, where Pakistan won by 25 runs to claim their maiden title. This was the first appearance of the West Indies in the final. Indian batsman Shikhar Dhawan was named player of the tournament as the leading run-scorer, while Bangladesh's Enamul Haque was the leading wicket-taker.
