After the announcement of the ICC, the winning team in the Women’s T20 World Cup to be held in the United Arab Emirates will get 2.34 million US dollars. If we look at this amount in Indian rupees, it is around Rs 20 crore.
How much money will the runner up get?
Earlier last year, the Women’s T20 World Cup was played in South Africa. Australia won this World Cup. At that time, Australia got 1 million dollars for winning the World Cup, which is approximately 8 crores in Indian rupees. But now it has been increased by 134 percent. At the same time, the runner up team of the Women’s T20 World Cup will get 1.17 million dollars, this amount is 134 percent more than the amount received by the previous runner up.
