In addition, all eight teams will receive $125,000 (Rs 1,08,59,706) for participating in the tournament. Each group stage victory will earn the winning team over $34,000 (Rs 29.5 lakhs). Teams finishing fifth or sixth will receive $350,000 (Rs 3 crores), while those in seventh and eighth place will get $140,000 (Rs 1,21,62,871) each.

The two-week thrilling competition will see eight teams divided into two groups of four.  Group A features Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and New Zealand) whereas Group B has Australia, Afghanistan, England and South Africa. The top two teams in each group will head to the semi-finals. The final of the ICC Champions Trophy is slated to be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
