Women's Cricket World Cup: Winners set for more prize money than 2023 men's champions Australia The winners of the Women's Cricket World Cup will take home more prize money than Australia received for winning the 2023 men's version.

"India’s sports market is booming, and female athletes who have long labored in the shadow of men want to make sure they get their share of it."

@nytimes.com
