NEW DELHI: From highest prize money to lowest ticket prices, Women's Cricket World Cup 2025 is still more than three weeks away but the tournament continues to make headlines. First, ICC announced a massive prize money which saw a monumental rise from $3.5 million to $13.88 million, even bigger than the men's ODI World Cup.

Now, tickets for the tournament have been priced at an unprecedented low, starting from just Rs 100 (USD 1.14). Released on Thursday (September 4) in an exclusive four-day pre-sale window, this makes the Women's World Cup the most affordable ICC global event in history.

Fans can book their seats for all group-stage matches in India and Sri Lanka through the exclusive pre-sale window, available via Google Pay at Tickets.cricketworldcup.com until September 8. General ticket sales will open on September 9 at 8 pm IST. The move follows the ICC's landmark women's-only global partnership with Google, designed to enhance fan engagement and visibility for women’s cricket.

By setting prices as low as Rs 100, the ICC has taken a bold step to make the tournament more inclusive and attract record crowds. The contrast is striking compared to the 2022 edition in New Zealand, where children's tickets started at NZD 7 (around Rs 350) and adult tickets at NZD 17 (around Rs 850) - nearly eight times the current base price.

In a major highlight, renowned Indian singer Shreya Ghoshal will perform at the Grand Opening Ceremony in Guwahati, ahead of the tournament opener between India and Sri Lanka on September 30.

Ghoshal, who has also voiced the tournament’s unreleased official anthem “Bring it Home”, will deliver a live performance supported by thematic visuals and on-ground activations.South Africa.
