Women’s World Cup 2025: History was created on Sunday at DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai. The Indian women’s cricket team won the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 title for the first time. In the final, Team India defeated South Africa by 52 runs and achieved the milestone for which the entire country was waiting for years.
Batting first, India had scored 298 runs in 50 overs, in reply South Africa was all out for 246 runs in 45.3 overs. With the victory, India became the champion of the Women’s World Cup for the first time, while South Africa’s dream once again remained unfulfilled.
Money rains on Team India
After becoming the champion, the Indian team was showered with money in the form of ICC prize money. ICC awarded the winning Team India of Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 with prize money of $ 4.48 million (about Rs 40 crore). This is the largest prize money so far, which is about 239 percent more than the $1.32 million received by Australia in the 2022 World Cup. This award reflects the growing popularity of women’s cricket and its global influence.
South Africa also got a big reward
At the same time, runner-up South Africa also got a great reward. The South African team, which reached the final under the captaincy of Laura Wolwart, was given an amount of $ 2.24 million (approximately Rs 20 crore). This amount is about 273 percent more than the $600,000 received by England in the 2022 World Cup.
Big money to semi-final teams also
ICC gave equal respect to both the teams Australia and England who lost in the semi-finals. Both were awarded prize money of 1.12 million dollars (about Rs 9.3 crore). In the previous edition, the teams that lost the semi-finals received only $3 lakh, due to which this amount has increased more than three times.
Other teams also got prize money
ICC also gave a reward of $ 700,000 (about Rs 5.8 crore) to the teams of Sri Lanka and New Zealand, who were ranked fifth and sixth in the points table. Whereas Bangladesh and Pakistan, which stood at 7th and 8th position, have received an amount of $280,000 (approximately Rs 2.3 crore).
This time, ICC also gave a guarantee money of $ 250,000 (about Rs 2 crore) to every team participating in the World Cup. Apart from this, on the victory of every match, the teams got a bonus of $ 34,314 (about Rs 28 lakh).
