How much will the champions of the Asia Cup earn?

Asia Cup is one of the mega events of Asian cricket. This continental tournament is held with the participation of cricket playing countries including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan. This tournament is usually organized by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) as a warmup before the World Cup.

Asia Cup is organized in ODI format before ODI World Cup and in T20 format before T20 World Cup. Since the T20 World Cup will be held in Australia next October, this year's Asia Cup will be held in the T20 format.

This year's edition of the Asia Cup, scheduled from August 27 to September 11, was supposed to be held in Sri Lanka. However, the Sri Lanka Cricket Board (SLC) is unable to organize the tournament due to the country's longstanding economic and political turmoil. That is why the Asia Cup will be held in the United Arab Emirates.

Meanwhile, the new news, this year's Asia Cup champion team will get 2 lakh dollars as prize. Which is about 2 crores in Bangladeshi Taka. And the runner-up team will get 1 lakh dollars (Taka 1 crore). In the last 2018 Asia Cup, the champion team was paid $60,000 and the runner-up team received $30,000.
