The winners of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 will take home a winners’ cheque of $ 1.6 million while the runners up will get half of that amount, the International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed today.

According to the details, all 16 competing teams will receive part of the US $5.6m allocated as prize money for the tournament, which will be played in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Oman from 17 October to 14 November.

The two losing semi-finalists will receive $400,000 each from the games taking place on 10 and 11 November.
