Prize money for the supporters of the Women's T20 World Cup will be increasing greatly.

The prize money for the champions of the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup, which gets underway in the United Arab Emirates on October 3, will be USD 2.34 million. This is a 134% increase over the USD 1 million that Australia received for winning the competition in 2023.

The ICC said on Tuesday that the total prize pool of USD 7.95 million is likewise 225% greater than the USD 2.45 million up for grabs in 2023. The ICC decided in June 2023 to give women the same prize money as men for their individual events, and this forthcoming competition will be the first to do so.

Earlier this year, USD 2.45 million was given to India, the 2024 Men’s T20 World Cup winners. The men’s T20 World Cup had 20 participating sides compared to the women’s event’s 10, and the discrepancy between that sum and the USD 2.34 million that the women champions would receive is due to the difference in the number of matches played by teams over the two events.

The 2024 Women’s World Cup runners-up will receive USD 1.17 million, while the losing finalists, South Africa, will receive USD 500,000. The 2024 semi-finalists that lose will receive USD 675,000, up from USD 210,000 in 2023. Additionally, each of the ten teams that compete in 2024 will receive USD 112,500.

The rescheduled schedule now has England playing Bangladesh in the evening and Australia and Sri Lanka playing in the day.

Beginning on October 3 in Sharjah, Bangladesh will play Scotland at 1400, followed by Pakistan facing Sri Lanka at 1800 in the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup.
