T20 World Cup 2026 Prize Money: The last matches of the group stage are being played in the T20 World Cup 2026. At the same time, the names of 8 teams have also been decided for Super-8. The remaining 12 teams will be out of the tournament after finishing the group stage matches. But the good news is that ICC gives good amount to these teams also, so that associate and small teams also get financial strength. That means, despite being out of the tournament in the first round, these teams are sure to be rich.
How much money will the teams eliminated from the first round get?
The teams eliminated in the first round of the T20 World Cup 2026 include USA, Namibia, Netherlands, Australia, Ireland, Oman, Italy, Nepal, Scotland, Afghanistan, Canada and UAE. Let us tell you, the International Cricket Council had announced a total prize money of US $ 11.25 million for the T20 World Cup 2024. This time also the same amount of prize money is expected. Then each team finishing between 9th to 12th place had received US$ 247,500 (approximately Rs 2 crore 25 lakh). In such a situation, this time also the teams ranked 9th to 12th are going to get this prize money.
These teams will get less money
At the same time, each team ranked from 13th to 20th place will get 225,000 US dollars (about Rs 2 crore). Apart from this, ICC also gives separate money for winning every match in the T20 World Cup. Teams also get 31,154 US dollars (about Rs 28 lakh) for every match won. But this applies except the semi-finals and finals. That is, this bonus is available on the matches won in the group stage and Super 8, which will also be available to the teams that are out of the tournament.
A big team like Australia also got eliminated from the group in the tournament, but they also come in this category and will get good money. Overall, the 12 eliminated teams are also getting lakhs and crores of rupees, which is a big support for them. Now the remaining teams will fight for the title in Super 8, semi-finals and finals, where the prize money is even more.
