ICC: Windies pocket over $1m in World Cup prize money

The West Indies won over Barbados $1 million for their performances at the recent ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India. The ICC on Wednesday morning announced the disbursement of prize money after India won their second consecutive title with victory over New Zealand in the final.

West Indies topped their preliminary group and reached the Super 8s stage but could not advance to the semi-finals. They had wins over Scotland, England, Nepal and Italy in the prelims and over Zimbabwe in the Super 8s. They were defeated by South Africa and India in the Super 8s and bowed out at that stage.
