From Empty Stands To Roaring Crowds: How Women's ODI WCs Evolved From 2013 To 2025
Twelve years on, the contrast couldn't be starker. Broadcast deals, capacity crowds, T20 leagues and globally recognised stars have transformed women's ODI cricket. It stands in stark contrast from 2013 – where venues would be changed days before the tournament, posters of the competition weren’t on display in Mumbai.
Tickets were not for sale, and one needed to go to the venues, get themselves checked via security, and were then let inside to watch the games. Lisa Sthalekar, the former Australian all-rounder and four-time World Cup winner, remembers it well. "In 2013, we played at CCI, Brabourne Stadium, and stands certainly were not full. There wasn't a huge crowd, and then you fast forward to WPL and selling out stands. I hope this World Cup is exactly that," she said to IANS.
