The winners of the 2021 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will be awarded prize money
of US $1.6 million while the runners-up will take home $800,000.
The two losing semi-finalists will be rewarded a prize money of $400,000 each.
Overall, a sum of $5.6 million will be allocated for the tournament which will be
shared by all the 16 participating teams.
The ICC will also continue to award a bonus amount for every win during the
Super 12 stage of the tournament, as was the case during the 2016 edition of the
tournament. The victors during all the 30 matches during the Super 12 stage will
take home an amount of $40,000 — amounting to a total pot of $1,200,000.
The teams which get knocked out in the Super 12 stage will be awarded $70,000
each, amounting to a total sum of $560,000.
The same set-up is in place to reward teams during their Round 1 victories,
where again, they will be rewarded $40,000 during the 12 matches during the
stage, totalling $480,000. The four teams which get knocked out during round
one will get $40,000 each from an overall prize pool of $160,000.
The eight teams participating in Round 1 will are Bangladesh, Ireland, Namibia,
Netherlands, Oman, Papua New Guinea, Scotland and Sri Lanka. Meanwhile,
Afghanistan, Australia, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, South Africa and
West Indies are the eight confirmed teams for the Super 12 stage of the
tournament in the UAE and Oman.
Apart from the prize money for the 2021 edition of the tournament, the ICC also
announced a drinks-break which will take place during each and every match.
The duration of the break will be of 2 minutes and 30 seconds and will take place
during the half-way mark of each innings.
