BCCI to reward India Women with INR 125 Crore if they lift the World Cup

Ahead of the much-anticipated ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 campaign, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced a record-breaking prize money for the winners of the mega event. 

For the unversed, the tournament’s total prize pool is USD 13.88 million (Around INR 123 Crore). The winner of the showpiece event will be rewarded with a whopping USD 4.48 million (INR 39.78 Crore). 

While India is all set to play in the final for the third time, South Africa has advanced to the grand finale for the first time. On the other hand, the runners-up of the mega event will receive USD 2.24 million. (INR 19.88 Crore). 

Meanwhile, a PTI report revealed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is planning to reward the Indian women’s team with the same amount that was given to the Indian men’s team that won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in Barbados. 

According to the report, the Indian women’s team and support staff are likely to receive INR 125 Crore if they manage to win the World Cup trophy after defeating the South African women’s team in the grand finale on Sunday, November 2.

"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 the men's global triumph. But it isn't nice to make an announcement before they win the Cup," a BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity.

While South Africa Women stunned England Women in the first semi-final, India Women bagged a win over Australia Women in the second semi-final to advance to the grand finale. On Sunday, November 2, India will face South Africa in the grand finale of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 in Navi Mumbai.
