The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday announced that the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be the first ICC event where women will receive the same prize money as their male counterparts, marking a significant milestone in the sport’s history.

The winners of the tournament, which will now be staged in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), will receive USD 2.34 million, a 134 per cent increase on the USD 1 million awarded to Australia when they clinched the title in South Africa in 2023.

The two losing semi-finalists will earn USD 6,75,000 (up from USD 2,10,000 in 2023), with the overall prize pot totalling USD 79,58,080, a massive increase of 225 per cent from last year’s total fund of USD 2.45 million.
