Prizemoney and Match Conditions for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024

This is the 9^th edition of the ICC T20 World Cup history. The first time it was held in 2007 and two rivalries Pakistan and India met in the final match. India won this final for the first time and this was the first tournament of this type. The prize money of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Edition has been structured in a manner that will be rewarding to the best teams at the event as well as the performances of the individuals over the event. Though the exact figures will be decided at some later stage, the prize purse of this edition is expected to be quite high compared to the ones in the preceding editions, taking into consideration the fact that T20 cricket has become more and more popular over the years. Normally, the prize distribution consists of:
• Winners: The team that wins the final will earn the lion’s share of the prize money.
• First runners-up: The team that comes in second will receive good pay too.
• Semi-finalists: Incentives to teams making the semi-final will be according to their performance.
• Group Stage Performance: Teams that perform well during the group stages of a tournament may also score an extra bonus.
This format ensures that teams are motivated enough to perform at their best in every game of the tournament.

Match Conditions
The ICC has laid down a few conditions to ensure that the matches are fair yet entertaining at the same time throughout the tournament. Here they are:

1. Super Over
   • Super Over is a one-over-per-side eliminator in the case of a result tie match. Each team will bat one over, with one over for each team consisting of a maximum of 6 deliveries, and a maximum of five batsmen allowed to bat. In case of a tie, the Super Over shall take place.
2. Reserve Days
   • The matches will have a reserve day for the semi-finals and final so that the matches will be completed according to norms. In other words, if the completion of the match is not on the date when it is supposed to be played, the match will be continued on the reserve day. For the first semi-final, there are 250 extra minutes on the scheduled day. The second one is the second semi-final with 250 minutes on the scheduled day. The final one is the final among the extra 250 minutes and the reserve day on June 30, 2024, for the final to be completed.
3. Powerplay Rules
   • Each innings would begin with a six-over powerplay, during which only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle. This rule obviously brings more aggressive batting in the first overs, meaning that scores start to get higher as the game progresses.
4. Fielding Restrictions
   • Five fielders can be allowed outside the 30-yard circle after the powerplay. This, in turn, makes the game well-balanced between the batsmen and bowlers and hence fair enough.
5. Match Duration
   • Every game is planned for three hours and 10 minutes, with each inning taking up 85 minutes, and then a 20-minute break. This is to ensure that the games are fast and perfectly fitted into a much shorter viewing window, which again suits the T20 audiences.
6. Minimum Overs for Result
   • At least five overs should constitute one side’s innings and one side’s subsequent innings in the group matches to make a result, taking into consideration interruptions by rain. For the knockout stage of the game, the number doubles up to 10 overs per side.
