How Much Will Team India Women Earn If They Win the ICC Women’s World Cup?

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly planning a huge cash reward for the Indian women’s cricket team if they win the Women’s World Cup 2025 on Sunday. Harmanpreet Kaur and her team will be chasing history when they face South Africa in the final at the DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. As per reports, the BCCI aims to give them the same prize money that was awarded to the men’s team after their T20 World Cup win in 2024.

As per news agency PTI, a BCCI official claimed that the board advocates the equal pay policy for men and women, hinting that the latter could get the same prize money that the former were rewarded with after defeating South Africa in the final in 2024. However, the source added that it wasn’t right to make the announcement before the end of the final.

BCCI Plans Equal Cash Reward for India Women if They Win World Cup 2025

“The 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’t be anything less compared to men’s global triumph. But it isn’t nice to make an announcement before they win the Cup,” a BCCI source said.

India’s women’s team last reached the World Cup final in 2017, where they narrowly lost to England by just 9 runs. In the 2022 edition, they couldn’t reach the semi-finals, finishing fifth in the standings with three wins and four losses.
