Winners of this tournament will receive a coveted trophy and $100,000 while the second placed team will receive a trophy and pocket $50,000.
Cash prize totaling $25,000 would also go towards individual performances in the area of batting, bowling, fielding, wicketkeeping and for the man-of-the-series.
