The competition was organised as a round-robin qualifying group stage of four-day matches, with the top two teams contesting a five-day final. Group matches took place between 10 October and 24 December 2004, with the final played from 28 December 2004 to 1 January 2005.[2][3]

Peshawar won the trophy for the second time on the basis of having taken a first-innings lead in the final after the match against Faisalabad resulted in a draw when rain reduced play to just 28 overs during the final two days.[4][5][6]

  • Win = 9 points
  • Win having trailed on first innings = 6 points
  • Draw having led on first innings = 3 points
  • Loss, draw having trailed on first innings, or draw with no result based on the first innings = 0 points
