Bangladesh has been placed in ‘D’ group in this year’s T20 World Cup. In the group they are joined by South Africa, Sri Lanka, Netherlands and Nepal. Among them, the Netherlands and Nepal are far behind the Tigers in terms of strength. So at least many people have retained the victory in these two matches.
However, with the recent performance of Bangladesh, it will not be easy to win these two matches. A series loss to the likes of the USA just before the World Cup, followed by a thrashing by India in a warm-up match, added to the apprehension.
Past statistics are even more frightening. Bangladesh could not win a single match in 2009, 2010 and 2012 T20 World Cup. Do not be anything like this!
But if the Tigers can’t win a single match, they will still get 2 lakh 25 thousand dollars as prize money. In Bangladeshi currency the amount is about 2 crore 64 lakh taka.
All teams participating in the World Cup will receive this amount if they do not win a match. And if you win the match, you will get an additional 31 thousand 154 dollars. However, semi-final and final wins will not be considered here.
ICC announced the prize money of this year’s T20 World Cup on Monday. The total prize money in this tournament is 1 crore 12 lakh 50 thousand dollars. This is the highest prize money in the tournament’s 17-year history.
The champion team will get 24 lakh 50 thousand dollars. The champion team will get the most prize money in the history of T20 World Cup this time. The runner-up team will receive 12 lakh 80 thousand dollars as prize money.
Each of the losing teams in the semi-finals will receive 787 thousand 500 dollars. Each of the four teams eliminated from the Super Eight will receive 3 lakh 82 thousand 500 dollars as prize money.
Besides, each of the 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th teams in the tournament will get 2 lakh 47 thousand 500 dollars. The 13th to 20th teams will each get $225,000.
