ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025

Prize money announced for ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025​

Media release

The return of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy for the first time since 2017 will see the winners of the eight-team tournament earn US$2.24 million, as well as the trophy they will lift on 9 March.

The runners-up will receive $1.12 million, while the losing semi-finalists walk away with $560,000 each, from the total prize pot of $6.9 million, a 53% increase from the 2017 edition.

Every match counts at the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy and each group match win is worth more than $34,000 to the victorious team. Teams that finished fifth or sixth will each earn $350,000 while the seventh and eighth-placed sides take home $140,000.

In addition, all eight teams are assured of $125,000 each for competing in the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025.

The first global cricket tournament to be hosted in Pakistan since 1996 promises to be a thrilling two-week competition, with matches played in Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi.

The format of this year’s tournament sees the eight teams divided into two groups of four, with the top two teams in each group progressing to the semi-finals.

The ICC Men’s Champions Trophy will take place every four years with the world’s top eight ODI teams, with the Women’s Champions Trophy launching in 2027 in a T20 format.

ICC Chair Jay Shah said, "The ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 represents a pivotal moment for cricket, reviving a tournament that highlights the pinnacle of ODI talent, where every match is critical. The substantial prize pot underscores the ICC's ongoing commitment to investing in the sport and maintaining the global prestige of our events. Beyond the financial incentive, this tournament ignites fierce competition, captivates fans worldwide, and plays a vital role in fostering the growth and long-term sustainability of cricket for future generations."

*All prize money is in US Dollars
That prize money is pretty low.
I thought cricket had a lot more money.


A tennis player of golfer wins more than that for a tournament.
 
the more I look at this tournament the more I feel like the top 4 could be anyone.

Group A.
India to beat PAK, NZ and BAN.
NZ to beat Pak and Ban
Pak to beat BAN.
but if India loose to Pak, then that group can be 3 teams with 2 wins

Group B:
SA to beat Eng and AFG.
Eng to beat AFG and AUS
Aus to beat AFG and SA.

so now imagine for a second BAN or AFG getting a win, it basically knocks out the team they beat.
4 teams have the potential to get 3 wins on paper, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa.

Group B looks weaker than Group A. because I don't feel like England and Australia could pull off 3 wins.

I feel like NRR is going to be a decider for group B for sure, and maybe even for the second position in group A.

I think this is going to be a good tournament to watch. might not be a good tournament to be a fan of one team, but it is still going to be good to watch
India NZ final, dont worry about all this.

I can see that.
India and NZ top the group.
they both win the semi's

I can also see it be Pak India Final in the same way. NRR putting Pak though ahead of NZ, Pak beating SA in the semi and India beating Aus/Eng/AFG

You will always earn more in individual sport. The winner prize money for the 50 over world cup is more then the winner of a tennis grand slam or a gold mayor. But the prize money gets shared with a squad of atleast 18.

Unless you are Messi, Ronaldo,ECT level of superstar then going individual sport will always be more financially rewarding.

For 750 million, I’d think they can do better.


The pga for example brings I 2 billion for the year and pays on average 20 million to the players per event.

It only now clicked that India will be playing ALL the games at one venue, not even abu dahbi for example. Cakewalk win for them.
 
Ah thought so, thanks.
They want to leave knowing that the bowlers couldn’t get them out.

In first class practice games a few guys like Mark Waugh and Adrian Kuiper would just try and blast as many sixes as they could instead of retiring.
in limited overs they want other guys to get a chance to make runs.
 
Seems like chasing is going to be the order of the day. Still amazes me that in this day and age, 322 isn't enough to win you a cricket match...
Let us come up against a top team and we'll demonstrate their true chasing prowess...
 
I wouldn't mind seeing this batting line-up going into the tournament. Add Rabada and Kesh/Bosch and we should be able to chase/defend most
I feel we will go for this:

1.temba
2.ricks
3.rassie
4.aiden
5.klaassen
6.miller
7.mulder
8.jansen
9.keshav
10.kg
11. Ngidi/Shamsi/Bosch (pick your poison none of 3 are convincing currently). If Bosch gets the pick he bats ahead of Keshav.
 
on a seam friendly pitch havign Bosch allows us to bat very deep.

I rate Ngidi, but Cotzee and Nortjie would have taken his spot in every game if either were fit.

and while I have been supporting Shamsi for a while, I am wondering if Linde would not have been a better pick.
