With the win, India not only lifted their maiden Women\u2019s World Cup title but also secured the highest-ever prize money in the history of cricket &#8211; a whopping USD 4.48 million (Rs 39.78 crore).The amount is part of a total tournament pool of USD 13.88 million (about Rs 123 crore), which was announced by the ICC ahead of the event. This was a whopping 297 per cent increase from the USD 3.5 million purse at the 2022 edition in New Zealand. The winners\u2019 prize of USD 4.48 million represents a 239 per cent jump from the USD 1.32 million that Australia received for winning the last edition, while runners-up South Africa will earn USD 2.24 million (Rs 19.88 crore). Each losing semi-finalist is entitled to USD 1.12 million (Rs 9.94 crore), while all eight teams were guaranteed USD 250,000 for participation, plus an additional USD 34,314 for every group-stage win. According to a PTI report, the BCCI is also considering matching the prize and bonuses that the men\u2019s team received after their T20 World Cup 2024 win. A senior BCCI source told PTI, \u201cThe BCCI supports equal pay for men and women and hence there are lot of discussions that if our girls win the World Cup, the reward won&#8217;t be anything less compared to the men&#8217;s global triumph. But it isn&#8217;t nice to make an announcement before they win the Cup.\u201d The Rohit Sharma-led men\u2019s team was awarded \u20b9125 crore for their T20 World Cup victory last year, a figure that could now serve as a benchmark for the women\u2019s side following their landmark success. As the celebrations continue in Navi Mumbai, India\u2019s triumph, and the record prize it brings marks a defining moment for women\u2019s cricket and reflects the ICC\u2019s stated goal of \u201ca world-class Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup\u201d and \u201ca clear commitment to long-term growth.\u201dThe final saw Team India women defeat Laura Wolvaardt&#8217;s South Africa by 52 runs in Navi Mumbai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"India women secured a historic win at DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai to secure a record sum&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":240288,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101360,101362,101364,101363,101365,101358,101357,101361,101,56,54,55,101359],"class_list":["post-240287","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-how-much-money-will-india-women-win","tag-icc-prize-money","tag-icc-prize-money-for-india","tag-icc-prize-money-india","tag-india-women-money","tag-india-women-prize","tag-india-women-prize-money","tag-india-women-prize-money-icc","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-womens-world-cup-prize-money"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240287","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=240287"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/240287\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/240288"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=240287"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=240287"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=240287"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
