The ninth edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL 2024) saw a dramatic last-ball end, where Islamabad United went on to clinch their third PSL title.

 The winner of the PSL, Islamabad United received a cheque of 14 crore PKR which is around 4.15 crore in the Indian rupees, which is way too less than what the IPL winning team receives.

Just a few days back, Royal Challengers Bangalore won their first-ever title in the form of Women's Premier (WPL 2024) and they received the prize money of six crores - which is also more than that of PSL's prize money for the winning team.

BCCI is known to be the richest cricket board of all, thus the prize money in leagues like IPL and WPL is way more than that of any other leagues of the world. 

On the other hand, PCB is not among the richest boards, which is the reason why they are always in the news related to players' salary and budget issues.
