During the Annual Conference held in Durban, South Africa, in July 2023, the International Cricket Council (ICC) declared equal prize money for both men’s and women’s cricket.
India, hosting the entire tournament for the first time, is seeking their first World Cup victory since 2011. They have already qualified for the semi-finals, having won all eight matches played so far, and are at the top of the points table.
South Africa is currently in the second position, alongside India, and has also secured a spot in the semi-finals. Australia holds the third position and is on the verge of qualifying for the semi-finals.
Meanwhile, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and the Netherlands are still in the running, fiercely competing for the coveted fourth place and aiming to secure a spot in the semi-finals. It is highly likely that either Pakistan or New Zealand will clinch that fourth spot.
