WTC Final 2023: ICC announces prize money, winner to take home whopping $1.6mn
Cricket’s governing body – the ICC, on Friday, May 26th, announced the prize pot for the World Test Championship 2023 cycle, with the winner set to bag a whopping $1.6 million. As India and Australia will face off for the second WTC Final on June 7th at the Oval in London, the ICC listed out how much each of the nine teams, ranking-wise, will earn out of a total of $3.8 million.
This figure remains the same as that of the first cycle during 2019-2021, where Kane Williamson-led New Zealand took the first spot after beating India by eight wickets in a rain-marred game in Southampton.
While the winner of the two will also earn $1.6 million this time, the team coming second will earn $800,000. As per the ICC’s list, South Africa, who stood third, will pocket $450,000, whereas, England – the ranked-four team will take home $350,000.
Placed fifth on the list, The Islanders - Sri Lanka, who until the end, were in the race to dethrone India for that vacant second spot, will earn $200,000, while the remaining teams New Zealand (No.6), Pakistan (No.7), West Indies (No.8), and Bangladesh (No.9) will get a reward sum of $100,000 each.
