ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024: Broadcast, livestreaming details and everything you need to know
The much-awaited Women’s T20 World Cup is scheduled to commence from Thursday, October 3 in the UAE. The first encounter of the competition will feature Bangladesh locking horns against tournament-debutants Scotland.
This ninth edition of the Women’s T20 World Cup will feature 10 teams, divided into 2 groups. The tournament will witness a total of 23 matches played over a span of 18 days, culminating in the final on October 20, where the new T20 World Champion will be crowned.
The likes of Australia, India and England have been termed as the tournament favourites but it wouldn’t be a surprise if an underdog team goes on to have a run in the tournament.
In a landmark move, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will have the same prize money as the men’s tournament. This is the first time in the history of international cricket that both a women’s and men’s event will be offering identical prize money.
As per the decision, the winners of the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 will receive USD 2.34 million—a massive 134 percent increase from the USD 1 million awarded to Australia in the previous edition held in South Africa in 2023. This decision is expected to bring gender parity in international cricket.
