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.
