NEW DELHI: The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will mark the first time women receive prize money equal to men. This historic decision was made at the ICC Annual Conference in July 2023. The ICC Board decided to achieve its prize money equality target seven years ahead of schedule, aiming for 2030. Cricket thus becomes the first major team sport to offer equal prize money for both genders in World Cup events.
The tournament, set to be held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), will award the winners $2.34 million, a 134 percent increase from the $1 million won by Australia in 2023. Runners-up will receive $1.17 million, also a 134 percent rise from the $500,000 awarded last year.
