With Pakistan’s runner-up finish at the T20 World Cup 2022, the PCB will receive $800,000 (PKR 17.75 Crore)

The winning team of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, with the final held on November 13 in Melbourne, will receive a $1.6 million prize, as announced by the International Cricket Council (ICC). Pakistan and England faced off in the championship match. England triumphed, while Pakistan placed second.

Pakistan was almost able to win a second championship, but they realize they need additional batsmen to support No. 6, Shadab Khan. Even though they lost their first two games of the competition, the fact that they still managed to come this far is impressive. But Pakistan’s bowling attack makes them difficult to ignore. Though they only had 137 runs to defend against what could have been a formidable batting line-up, Pakistan’s pacers put up a valiant effort to push the 2022 T20 World Cup final to the very last over. They battled bravely for a low score, and you should never underestimate their bowling because of the variety of problems it causes for batters (pace, bounce, height, movement, etc.). 

With a total prize pool of $5.6 million, the runner-up will get $800,000, and the losers of the semi-finals will each get $400,000. The 45-match tournament started on October 16 and was played in seven places in Australia. Each of the eight teams that were eliminated in the Super 12 stage will receive $70,000, and a victory in any of the 30 games in that round will be worth $40,000. This is the same payout structure as the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021. If a team won all 12 of its opening-round games, it will receive $40,000 ($480, 000 total). Every one of the four teams that were eliminated in the opening round will receive $40,000.
