MUMBAI: On the eve of Sunday's Women's World Cup final against England at Lord's in London, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Saturday announced a cash prize of Rs 5 million for each member of the Indian team for their performance.
The cricket board also announced a cash award of Rs 2.5 million each for the support staff of the Mithali Raj-led side.
Aiming for their maiden Women's World Cup crown, India rode on all-rounder Harmanpreet Kaur's breezy 115-ball unbeaten 171 to knock Australia out by 36 runs in the semi-final at Derby on Thursday.
This is the Indian women's team's second entry in a World Cup final, having lost to Australia in their first attempt in 2005 at Centurion.
