The winners of the 2022 Women’s Cricket World Cup will receive prize money of US$1.32 million, twice the amount awarded in the last edition of the 50-over tournament, the governing International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Tuesday (Feb 15).
The 2022 event will be held from Mar 4 to Apr 3 across six venues in New Zealand, played in a round-robin format with the top four teams advancing to the semi-finals.
The ICC said that the overall prize money pot has been increased by 75 per cent, with the teams taking home a share of US$3.5 million, which is US$1.5 million more than the previous edition.
The runners-up will be awarded a sum of US$600,000, about $270,000 more than the last edition, the statement added.
