The 2017 World Cup was the first in which all participating players were fully professional. ^[2] Eight teams qualified to participate in the tournament. England won the final at Lord's on 23 July, after India fell short by 9 runs in pursuit of England's total of 228/7. ^[3]

Prize money

The International Cricket Council declared a total prize money pool of US$2 million for the tournament, a tenfold increase from the 2013 World Cup. The prize money was allocated according to the performance of the team as follows: ^[10]

Prize money

Stage	Teams	Prize money (USD)	Total (USD)

Group stage

On 8 February 2016, it was announced that in the Group Stage, eight sides will participate in a single-league format with each side playing the other once. This format was last used in the 2005 tournament. The top four sides following the conclusion of the league matches progressed to the semi-finals with the winners meeting at Lord's on 23 July. Therefore, a total of 31 matches were played during the 28-day tournament. ^[11] The full fixtures for the tournament were announced by the ICC on 8 March 2017, to coincide with International Women's Day. ^[12] Ahead of the group stage fixtures there were eight practice matches, played between 19 and 22 June 2017. ^[13]

Teams tied on equal points in the group stage of the tournament were decided by number of wins, followed by net run rate. ^[14] If both of those were still the same, then the head-to-head match between the two sides was used to determine who progresses to the semi-finals. ^[14]
