The 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup has come to a close, with Australia edging the battle with India in a low-scoring final.

But victory brings more than just the glory of lifting the famous trophy. The Australians also receive a huge amount of prize money.

The sums on offer match the amounts from the previous tournament, with the ICC putting up a bumper prize pool.

Even for those who fell short in the semis or in the group stages, there was a considerable consolation prize on offer.

Even England — whose defence of the trophy they won in 2019 ended in disaster at the group stage — were sent home with some cash in their pockets.

For India, winning all nine group-stage games meant a bonus of $360,000 — a testament to their dominance and consistency throughout the first phase.

Here's what everyone has made:

  • Australia ($4.28m)
  • India ($2.36m)
  • South Africa ($1.08m)
  • New Zealand ($1m)
  • Pakistan ($260,000)
  • Afghanistan ($260,000)
  • England ($220,000)
  • Bangladesh ($180,000)
  • Sri Lanka ($180,000)
  • Netherlands ($180,000)

Total prize money at previous ODI Cricket World Cups

Comparatively, the prize money for the 2023 World Cup remained identical to the 2019 edition.

In 2019, the $10million prize pool was the same and the winner of the 2019 tournament
received $4 million also.

Going back further to the 2015 World Cup, the prize distribution was lower. In that edition, the winner took home $3.75 million, the runner-up received $1.75 million, and the losing semi-finalists were granted $600,000 each.
