The runners-up will bag $1.12 million, while each losing semi-finalist will take home $560,000.

The total prize pool has increased by an impressive 53 percent from the 2017 edition, bringing the total to $6.9 million.

At the Champions Trophy, every match will matter as each group stage win is worth over $34,000 for the victorious team. Teams finishing in fifth or sixth place will receive $350,000 each, while the seventh and eighth-placed sides will take home $140,000.

Additionally, all eight teams will receive a guaranteed $125,000 each for participating at the event.
