England became the first team to win the T20 World Cup for the second time.

England became the first team to win the T20 World Cup for the second time after defeating Pakistan in the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on 13 November. The English team had previously won the competition in 2010. The Three Lions managed to finish five wickets ahead of the Babar Azambi-led side in the final of the T20 World Cup 2022.

Now people are wondering how much prize money he won. Let us first discuss how much the semi-finalists, India and New Zealand have won.

The T20 World Cup 2022 had a prize money of $5.6 million. India and New Zealand each received $400,000 (₹3.2 crore) as prize money. A total of $70,000 (₹56.5 lakh) was awarded to each of the eight teams eliminated during the Super 12 round.

T20 World Cup 2022 champions England were awarded a whopping amount of $1.6 million (₹12.8 crore), while the Babar-led Pakistan team was given $800,000 (₹6.4 crore) for finishing as the runners-up.

During the Super 12 stage, winning any of the 30 games carried a $40,000 (₹32 lakh) prize money. Each of the four first round elimination teams received $40,000. Afghanistan, Australia, Bangladesh, England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa have qualified in the Super 12 round of T20 World Cup 2022.

Following on from their 50-over win in 2019, England became the first team in history to hold both the ODI and T20 World Cups at the same time with their five-wicket win at the MCG. Given that they were without five first-choice players due to injury - Jofra Archer, Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Reece Topley and Mark Wood - their efforts were all the more impressive.

When Buttler was asked whether England could now be regarded as one of the greatest teams in limited-overs cricket, he said, "It's not for us to judge, but we certainly enjoy it." "


"To win in 2019 and now to win this T20 World Cup as well, it just shows the vision that people had in the beginning of where we could achieve as an England white-ball team.

"There's no reason why we shouldn't go from strength to strength."
