Like last year at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, a win in each of the 30 games in the Super 12 phase will be worth $40,000.

The eight teams that made it directly to the Super 12 phase are Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa.

The other eight teams — Namibia, Sri Lanka, Netherlands, UAE in Group A and West Indies, Scotland, Ireland and Zimbabwe in Group B — are split into two groups of four and will play the first round.

The prize money of $40,000 will be awarded to each winner in the first round, with the 12 matches amounting to $480,000.

Meanwhile, the four teams knocked out in the first round will get $40,000 each.
