\nThis year\u2019s Women\u2019s Twenty20 World Cup will have a tournament-record prize pool of $8.8 million with the winners set to earn $2.3 million, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Monday.
\nThe 12-team competition will be held in England and Wales from June 12, with New Zealand set to defend the maiden title they won in 2024.
\n\u201cThe runners-up will receive $1.17 million. Both losing semi-finalists will earn $675,000 each,\u201d the ICC said in a statement, adding that every participating team was guaranteed a minimum prize of $248,000.
\nThe prize pool will be smaller than those at the men\u2019s and women\u2019s World Cups held in the Indian subcontinent in the last three years.
\nLast year\u2019s 50-over Women\u2019s World Cup in India and Sri Lanka had a prize pool of $13.9 million, the highest pot at an ICC event, and a 297% increase from its previous edition in 2022. Champions India took home $4.5 million.
\nThe 2023 edition of the men\u2019s 50-over World Cup, held in India, had a prize pot of $10 million, while this year\u2019s men\u2019s T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka offered $11.25 million in prize money.
\n\u201cThe continued rise of women\u2019s cricket through increased investment and opportunity reflects the growing influence and impact of female athletes on the global stage,\u201d the ICC\u2019s CEO Sanjog Gupta said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
