The 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup introduced new finance-sharing parameters to ensure that for the first time, no team left the tournament empty-handed.
The ICC set a base prize of $112,500 for all 10 participating teams, with an additional reward of $31,154 for each win during the group stage. Teams that didn’t make the semi-finals also received compensation based on their standings in the group. Third and fourth-place teams in each group are set to take home $270,000 each, while fifth-place teams earn $135,000.
Stakes were even sweeter during the semi-finals with the two losing semi-finalists, Australia and the West Indies collecting $912,116 and $880,962 respectively (Australia secured an extra group-stage win).
South Africa, the losing finalist walked away with $1.375 million while New Zealand raked in $2.545 million after their victory.
