England to receive $1.6 million in prize money following their T20 World Cup 2022 win

Pakistan to receive $800,000 for losing in the final to England.

England, the winners of the T20 World Cup 2022, will be receiving a huge $1.6 million from the ICC, as they became only the second team to win the tournament twice. The total prize pool of $5.6 million will be distributed among all the teams.

Runners-up Pakistan will get half the amount that England got ($800,000). On the other hand, the two losing semi-finalists - India and New Zealand - will get $400,000 each, as per ICC.

$70,000 each will be given to the teams which made an exit during the Super 12 stage of the tournament. These teams will also get $40,000 per win they clinched during what was a highly-competitive, thrilling Super 12 phase.

UAE, Scotland, Namibia, and West Indies, the four teams that were knocked out of the tournament in the first round itself, will receive $40,000 each, along with an additional $40,000 for each win picked up.
