 "Champions Trophy 2025: How much prize money will hosts Pakistan earn after first-round exit?")
Pakistan will take home a fraction of the total prize money on offer for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy after suffering a first-round exit from the tournament.

This was after they lost to New Zealand and India by 60 runs and six wickets respectively.
