Asia Cup 2025 Prize Money Revealed: How Much Will India Earn if They Defend Their Crown?

The wait is almost over. The Asia Cup 2025 is set to begin on September 9. Meanwhile, the cricket fans across the continent are buzzing with excitement. This is one of the biggest cricketing spectacles in Asia. Eight teams will be battling for supremacy. This time around, the tournament will all happen in the T20 format.

The structure is clear and simple. The eight teams are divided into two groups. The top two from each group will advance to the Super 4s, and from there, the best two sides will fight for the coveted trophy. 

For India, the Asia Cup 2025 is more than just another assignment. The Men in Blue are coming in as defending champions, as they won the ODI version of the tournament in 2023 by beating Sri Lanka in the showdown. Suryakumar Yadav-led Team India will aim to defend their crown in the shortest format.

Asia Cup 2025 Prize Money: How Much Would India Earn?

Over the years, the prize money in international cricket has grown, and the Asia Cup has followed the same path. When Sri Lanka won the 2022 T20 edition, they took home around USD 200,000 (about INR 1.6 crore). This time, reports suggest that the winners will earn about USD 300,000 (close to INR 2.6 crore).

That is a big jump, almost a 50% increase from the last T20 edition. It reflects the growing commercial pull of the Asia Cup. If India manage to win, they will not only add another feather to their cap but also pocket a handsome amount. Of course, for the BCCI, which is the richest cricket board in the world, this money is not a game-changer. But the symbolic value of being crowned Asia’s best is priceless.

Team India’s Group in Asia Cup 2025

Team India have been placed alongside Pakistan, Oman, and the UAE. The real test, as always, will be against Pakistan. India will kick-start their campaign on September 10 against the UAE, and that should be a straightforward game.

Their biggest match comes on September 14, when they take on Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. For fans, India vs Pakistan is bigger than any final. The rivalry, the history, and the emotions make it cricket’s greatest blockbuster. After that, India will wrap up the group stage with a game against Oman on September 19.

The path to the Super 4s looks secure, but T20 cricket is unpredictable. One bad day or one inspired performance from an underdog can change everything. That’s the beauty of this format.

A Look at Asia Cup Winners

The Asia Cup is not just about cricket. It has always symbolized regional dominance and pride. Since 1984, India and Sri Lanka have set the standard. India remain the most successful team, winning 8 titles in 15 appearances. They have also finished as runners-up three times. This record shows their dominance in Asian conditions.

Sri Lanka, with six wins and 7 runner-up finishes from 16 editions, have been just as consistent. They might not always be favorites, but they know how to play big games. Pakistan have only 2 titles in 15 appearances.

On the other hand, Bangladesh have reached the final three times but never won. For a nation that lives and breathes cricket, this remains their biggest heartbreak.

Afghanistan are the new entertainers. In just four appearances, they have shown that they can beat any side on their day. Nepal, who debuted in 2023, represent the growing reach of the game. They are still learning, but their inclusion is a big step for Asian cricket.
