The runner-up will receive $2.24 million (approximately $20 crore). Teams reaching the semi-finals will each pocket $1.12 million.
Each match won in the group stage will earn a bonus of $34,314. Considering India has won many matches, their earnings have increased further.
Still, this is only from the ICC. The BCCI has also promised an additional reward of ₹125 crore if the women’s team wins the cup.
