Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 Prize Money Same As Men’s: There is often talk of ‘discrimination’ between men’s and women’s cricket. This issue has been raised many times that women cricketers should also get equal salary as men cricketers. Now the International Cricket Council (ICC) has ended the discrimination and announced the same prize money for the Women’s T20 World Cup as the Men’s T20 World Cup.
Announcing this historic decision, the ICC said that a total prize pool of US $ 7,958,080 (about Rs 66 crore 30 lakh) has been kept for the tournament, which is more than double the last time i.e. the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup.
Now the team that wins the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup will be given 2.34 million US dollars (about 20 crores rupees). Whereas the Australian team that won the 2023 Women’s T20 World Cup was given a prize of only 1 million US dollars (about 8.5 crores rupees). This time, i.e. in 2024, the winning team will get 134 percent more prize money.
The runner-up team will be given 1.17 million US dollars (about 10 crore rupees). The runner-up team will also get 134 percent more money than last time. Apart from this, the prize money given to the other teams has also increased.
While announcing the prize money, the ICC said, “The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will be the first ICC event where women will get equal prize money as men, which is a significant achievement in the history of the sport.”
The tournament is starting from 03 October
Let us tell you that the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup will start from October 03, while the final match will be played on October 20. A total of 20 league matches will be played in the tournament.
