ICC announces BUMPER prize money for ODI World Cup; winners to get THIS amount
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced a bumper prize money for the upcoming men’s ODI World Cup in India on Friday, September 22. The ICC ODI World Cup is set to get underway in less than two weeks in India as teams across the globe have started to gather in the sub-continent. Two teams playing in the final will share a prize money of $6 million with the winner bagging $4 million. There will be prize money for all the 10 teams participating in the tournament.
What is the prize money?
The ICC will distribute prize money from a total pool of $10 million with the winner of each match in the league stage getting $40,000 each. Teams failing to make the semifinal stage will get a prize money of $100,000 each. In a unique decision, ICC has asserted it will distribute equal prize money for both men’s and women’s events in the future. A total of 10 teams will participate in the marquee tournament with a round-robin format for the league stage.
India qualified for the ODI World Cup as the hosts while New Zealand, England, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Australia, Afghanistan, and South Africa progressed through the Super League stage. On the other side, the Netherlands and Sri Lanka needed qualifiers to get into the World Cup league phase. Interestingly, there is no place for two-time champions West Indies with Zimbabwe also missing out. Both failed to qualify for the World Cup through the playoffs.
