For Bangladesh, this match carries greater consequence. A win would not only help it avoid the wooden spoon in the eight-team table but could even lift it to sixth place. That climb would bring a significant financial boost — Rs. 3.4 crore in prize money compared to the Rs. 2.8 crore reserved for the bottom two teams.

The prize money pot itself has seen a big bump from the 2022 World Cup.

The winners of the 13th edition of the Women’s Cricket World Cup will receive prize money of $4.48 million – a 239 per cent increase from the $1.32 million awarded to Australia in 2022.

Meanwhile, the runners-up will receive $2.24 million, an increase of 273 per cent in comparison to the $600,000 England won three years ago. The two losing semi-finalists will take home $1.12 million (up from $300,000 in 2022) each.

Each group stage participant is guaranteed to earn $250,000 while each group-stage win will get the victors $34,314. In the second half of the final table, the teams finishing fifth and sixth will take home $700,000 each and those in seventh and eighth place will earn $280,000.
