The 2005 Super Fours was the fourth cricket Super Fours season. It took place in June and July and saw 4 teams compete in a 50 over league and a Twenty20 league. Knight Riders won the 50 over league, achieving their second title, whilst V Team won the Twenty20 league, also achieving their second title in the format, and their second in two years.

Competition format[edit]

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:[1]

Win: 15 points.
Tie: 6 points.
Loss: 0 points.

The Twenty20 competition was expanded from the 2004 edition of the Super Fours: in 2005, each team played each other once in a round-robin format, with the winners of the group winning the tournament. 2 points were awarded for a win.[2]
