ICC T20 World Cup 2024 Historic Prize Pot and Pakistan’s Key Matches Revealed
According to a statement issued today, the runners-up will receive at least $1.28 million, while the losing semi-finalists walk away with $787,500 each from the total, historic prize pot of $11.25 million.
The four teams that fail to make it out of the Super 8s will earn $382,500 each, while the teams placed ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th receive $247,500 each. Participants who finish 13th to 20th place will return $225,000.
Additionally, every team receives an additional $31,154 for each match they win barring the semi-finals and final.
The 55-match event will be played over 28 days across nine venues in the West Indies and USA, making this the biggest ICC T20 World Cup ever.
The format of this year’s tournament will see 40 first-round matches played before the top eight progress to the Super 8s. Four teams will then qualify for the semi-finals, which will be staged in Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana, ending with the final in Barbados where the 2024 men’s champions will be crowned.
