The LG Cup 1999-2000 was a four team cricket ODI tournament held in Kenya. After the round robin stage, the final took place between South Africa and India. Despite only making his international debut in India's opening game of the tournament, Vijay Bhardwaj won the man of the series award. The tournament was dominated by the bowlers, with the best bowling figures being Sunil Joshi's 5 wickets for 6 runs off his full 10 overs, one of the most economical figures of all time.

Final
The final took place between South Africa and India at the Gymkhana Club Ground in Nairobi. India won the toss and sent the South African into bat. They made 235 from their 50 overs with an innings of 84 from Herschelle Gibbs being the highest. Vijay Bharadwaj took 3 wickets but perhaps the best spell came from Venkatesh Prasad who bowled 5 maidens in his 10 overs. His namesake, Mannava Prasad contributed 63 runs in their chase but it wasn't enough as Jacques Kallis took the final wicket to give the South Africans a 26 run victory.
