The runner-up team of the Women's ODI World Cup, that is, the team that loses in the final, will now be given around Rs 19.77 crore. Apart from this, the teams that lose in the semi-finals will get around Rs 9.89 crore.

To promote the popularity of women's cricket and give them equal respect as male cricketers, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has increased the prize money of the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup. The ICC has made a bumper increase in the prize money of the Women's ODI World Cup. Now the champion team will be given around Rs 40 crore. 

Let us tell you that the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup will be played from September 30. This time India and Sri Lanka are jointly hosting this global tournament. The winning team in the 2025 Women's ODI World Cup will get a prize money of $ 44.80 lakh (about Rs 39.55 crore), which will be the biggest prize money so far in this tournament. 

A total of eight teams will participate in the Women's ODI World Cup. The ICC has announced a total prize money of $ 13.88 million (about Rs 122.5 crore) for this tournament. The ICC said in a statement, "The ICC has set a new benchmark for women's cricket, as the champion will receive a record prize money of $ 44.8 lakh."

The total prize money of the last Women's ODI World Cup played in New Zealand was only about Rs 31 crore and thus now this amount has been increased by about 297 percent. The total prize money of the Women's ODI World Cup is more than the prize money of the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023, whose total prize money was $ 10 million (about Rs 88.26 crore). 

The runner-up team of the Women's ODI World Cup will now get $ 2.24 million (about Rs 19.77 crore) while the teams losing in the semi-finals will get $ 1.12 million (about Rs 9.89 crore). Teams winning in the group stage (league stage) will get $ 34,314 (about Rs 30.29 lakh). The teams finishing fifth and sixth will get $ 700,000 (about Rs 62 lakh) and the teams finishing seventh and eighth will get $ 280,000 (about Rs 24.71 lakh). Each participating team will get $ 250,000 (about Rs 22 lakh). 

The ICC said that the aim of this move is to increase the popularity of women's cricket around the world and bring it at par with men's cricket. ICC Chairman Jay Shah said that this is a step towards giving priority to women's cricket. He said, this announcement will prove to be a milestone in the journey of women's cricket. This four-fold increase in prize money is a historic moment for women's cricket and reflects our clear commitment to its long-term development. Our message is simple, women cricketers should know that if they choose this game professionally, they will be treated equally as men.
