The tournament, set to kick off on October 5 in Ahmedabad, promises cricketing action that will have fans at the edge of their seats.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced a substantial prize pool, with the winners of the competition set to get a big USD 4 million. This amount is the same that England claimed in their triumphant 2019 campaign.

In 2019, the winner received $4,000,000, the runner-up got $2 million losing semi-finalists earned $800,000, and there was no prize for losing quarter-finalists. The winner of each group match received $40,000, and teams eliminated in the group stage received $100,000.
