The ODI World Cup 2023 is just days away, and the world’s top 10 teams will compete for a total prize pool of $10 million (approx. ₹84 crore). The winner of the tournament will take home $4 million (approx. ₹33 crore), while the runner-up will receive $2 million (approx. ₹16.5 crore). All 10 participating teams will also receive prize money for winning their Group Stage matches, at a rate of $40,000 per win.
