The 13th edition of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup will see the winners of the 10-team tournament earn US$4 million.
Winners will go home with US$ 4 million from the overall US$10 million pot, while runners-up will earn US$2 million, said ICC, cricket’s global governing body, in a statement yesterday.
The losing semi-finalists will get $800,000 each. The 48-match event will be played across 10 venues from 5 October. The final will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 19.
