PSL 8 Prize Money

But no good event would be successful without money at stake. Ever since the beginning of the competition, the PSL prize money was $500,000 for the winner and $200,000 for the runner-up. Due to the fluctuating economy and varying conversion rates, the PKR values for the distribution have changed but the dollar values have remained the same.

A total of 34 Man of the Match awards will also be given out. In the 2022 edition, a total of PKR 90 million was allocated for champion’s prize money. This year champion of PSL will get PKR120 million where as Runner up will receive a cheque of Rs48m. Given below are the prize money distribution of total $4 million and individual sums given to all award winners in PSL, PSL 8.
