One-Day Internationals in the year 2004

For the ninth year running more than 100 One-day internationals were played in a calendar year (though 2004's figure of 128 is quite less than the figures of 2003 and 2002). It was for the first time in 1996 that ODIs touched the three-figure mark in a calendar year with 127 games being organised.

The next two years saw 115 and 108 matches respectively. In 1999 a record 154 matches took place thanks to the World Cup in 1999. The next two years saw 131 and 120 matches being played. The tally rose to 145 in 2002 and then to 147 in 2003.

The accompanying tables give a complete statistical analysis of ODIs played during the calendar year 2004.
