The ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is coming to an end. After 53 electrifying cricket matches played between the top 20 teams across the world at nine different venues, we have our first finalists. South Africa beat Afghanistan in the first semifinal to qualify for the finals, and they will face the winner of the second semifinal between India and England.
The grandfinal of the tournament is scheduled to take place on June 29 (Saturday) at Kensington Oval in Barbados. It has been a grand tournament, and for the first time, a total of 20 teams participated in the edition. Adding to that, the International Cricket Council (ICC) also tried to crack the US market to give this game more exposure. That’s why, for the first time, an ICC event took place in the United States.
To some extent, this move has benefited and given a push to this game in the USA. However, the ICC has also announced a record-breaking sum of prize money for this tournament for every team, which is more than the previous tournaments. Here we will talk about the distribution of prize money in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
