BCCI announces INR 51 Crore cash reward for the Indian Women’s World Cup-winning team

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a whopping INR 51 Crore prize money for the Indian Women’s team that won the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 title in Navi Mumbai on Sunday, November 2.

The BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia, while speaking exclusively to ANI, confirmed the announcement in a statement. He also made it clear that this cash reward is an addition to what the ICC has already rewarded. 

Interestingly, this was the third time India reached the World Cup final but won the title for the first time. He has also confirmed that the 51 crore prize money will be equally distributed to the players, the selection committee, and the support staff, headed by Amol Muzumdar. 

"BCCI is elated and without touching anything from the ICC kitty, BCCI on its own is going to pay, as a reward, of INR 51 crores to the Indian team. That amount will go to the players, selectors, as well as the support staff headed by Amol Muzumdar," Saikia said.

In total, the Indian women’s team is set to receive a whopping INR 91 Crore (51 Crore from BCCI, 40 Crore from ICC). For the unversed, in September 2025, ICC Chairman Jay Shah had announced a significant hike in the prize money for the ICC Women's World Cup 2025, with the winners set to receive USD 4.48 million (around INR 40 crore). 

Shifting our focus to the details of the game, India Women posted an imposing total of 298/7 in 50 overs. In response, South African women could score only 246 runs in 45.3 overs, losing the game by 52 runs. 

Replacement batter Shafali Verma was adjudged the player of the match for her 87-run knock and two important wickets with the ball, while the star veteran all-rounder Deepti Sharma was awarded the player of the tournament for 22 wickets and 215 runs.
