BCCI announces ₹125 crore reward if India Women win the Women’s World Cup 2025 final. The cricket board wants to boost the team to bring home their first World Cup title. This huge prize money shows that BCCI’s duty to women’s cricket is growing significantly in India.
India Women’s Journey to the Final
India Women reached the Women’s World Cup 2025 final after beating Australia in the semifinals. The Aussies had won 15 matches straight before India stopped their winning streak. This marks India’s third World Cup final appearance after losing in 2005 and 2017.
Jemimah Rodrigues played a match-winning knock of 127* against Australia. She carried the batting lineup beautifully throughout the innings. Smriti Mandhana remains important for the India Women by delivering good starts at the top order. Unfortunately, Pratika Rawal was ruled out due to injury before the final match happened.
The IND vs SA final will be historic as South Africa reaches their first-ever final. BCCI announces ₹125 crore specifically for players and support staff, sharing the reward equally.

BCCI’s Equal Pay Policy for Women
BCCI has been pushing for equal pay between men’s and women’s cricket teams recently. The ₹125 crore prize money matches what the men’s team would receive for winning major tournaments. Back in 2017, the India Women got only ₹50 lakhs each after losing the final badly.
This huge jump in prize money reflects how much women’s cricket has grown nationally. BCCI wants to ensure Women’s World Cup 2025 victory rewards match men’s tournament prizes exactly now. The board believes equal treatment helps develop women’s cricket faster across India.

What Victory Means for Indian Cricket
Winning the IND vs SA final would change everything for women’s cricket in India forever. India Women have never won a World Cup trophy despite reaching finals twice before this. BCCI announces ₹125 crore by hoping that financial motivation pushes players to perform their absolute best.
South Africa also desires their maiden World Cup title by making this final completely surprising. BCCI’s support through massive prize money shows they value women’s wins equally to men’s. This final could inspire millions of young girls to take up cricket across India seriously.
