Men’s T20 World Cup prize money: how much does winning nation get? Figures announced by ICC explained

The 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will begin on October 16 with both England and Scotland heading down under and looking for success.

Australia will serve as both the host nation and the defending champions, having lifted the trophy in Dubai in 2021 while England are looking to claim the title for the first time since their 2010 victory in the West Indies.

This year’s final is due to be played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on November 19 and there will not only be the trophy up for grabs but a substantial cash prize as well.

Here is everything you need to know about the breakdown of prize money for the 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup:

How much prize money will 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup receive?

The ICC announced last month that the winning side at the 2022 T20 World Cup 2022 would receive prize money of $1.6 million (USD).

At the current exchange rate that works out at around £1.4 million (GBP). The runner-up at this year’s tournament will also be guaranteed half that sum in prize money. The total prize pool for the event stands at $5.6 million.

Losing semi-finalists are set to leave with $400,00 each while the eight teams who exit at the Super 12 stage will receive $70,000 each. A win in each of the 30 Super 12 phase games will be worth $40,000, the same figure as in 2021.

A win in the first round will be worth $40,000 and the four teams knocked out at that stage will get an additional $40,000 each.
