Pakistan players earn big despite early World Cup exit

Pakistan players are expected to earn big despite their early exit from the 2019 International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup. The Men in Green made an incredible comeback after a lacklustre start but could not qualify for the semi-finals due to an inferior net run-rate.

The team is expected to receive more than PKR 20 million after finishing at number five in the round-robin stage of the World Cup.

Each team receives PKR 2.8 million for winning a match and PKR 7 million for playing the first round of the mega event. An abandoned match can fetch the team PKR 1.4 million.

Five victories alongside a washout will help the Pakistan team earn a significant amount.

The side that wins the mega event receives PKR 280 million. This is the highest amount for any World Cup edition. The semi-finalists will earn PKR 55 million each. The runner-ups of the tournament will receive PKR 140 million.
