Pakistani cricketers get a big boost in prize money

ISLAMABAD - Pakistani cricketers get a big boost in prize money for the upcoming National T20 Cup.

The winning prize money for the National T20 tournament has seen a 100 per cent surge as the team to be crowned the champions of the National T20 Cup on October 24 will pocket PKR5million.

The runner-up will get PKR2.5million and the top performers of the tournament - player of the tournament, best batsman of the tournament, best bowler of the tournament and best wicketkeeper of the tournament - will get PKR100,000 each.

The man-of-the-match award for every match is worth PKR25,000, while man-of-the-final will be getting PKR35,000.

The boost in the prize moneys perfectly aligns with the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) policy of incentivising top-performing players.
