How much prize money Pakistan take home after Champions Trophy group-stage elimination

NEW DELHI: Hosts Pakistan's ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign ended in disappointment as they faced an early elimination in the group stage.
The tournament, which marked Pakistan’s first ICC event hosting rights in 29 years, only added to the nation’s struggles amid political instability, security concerns and financial hardships.
Pakistan entered the tournament on the back of a tri-series final defeat and got off to a disastrous start with a loss to New Zealand in the opening match.

Their second fixture, a must-win clash against arch-rivals India, resulted in another setback, further dimming their hopes of reaching the knockout stage. Their fate was sealed when New Zealand defeated Bangladesh the next day, ensuring Pakistan’s early exit from the competition.
In their final group-stage match against Bangladesh, rain intervened, resulting in a no-result.
With just one point from three matches, Pakistan finished at the bottom of the Group A standings with a disappointing net run rate (NRR) of -1.087.

The return of the ICC Champions Trophy after an eight-year hiatus features a total prize pool of $6.9 million, a significant 53% increase from the 2017 edition.
The tournament winner will claim $2.24 million, while the runner-up receives $1.12 million. Losing semi-finalists will take home $560,000 each.
For teams finishing seventh and eighth, the prize money stands at $140,000. Additionally, all eight participating teams are guaranteed a base amount of $125,000.

With their early exit, Pakistan will collect a total of $265,000 (approximately 2.3 crore INR) -- a sum that reflects both their participation and bottom-table finish.
Despite securing the hosting rights, Pakistan’s campaign fell short of expectations, leaving fans and cricketing authorities with much to ponder ahead of future ICC events.
