$1 Tickets For Women's World Cup, ICC Covering Up For Delay? | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G

The ICC has promised the “biggest-ever” Women’s Cricket World Cup with a record $13.8 million prize pool – even more than the 2023 Men’s World Cup winners. On paper, it looks like a huge step toward equality in cricket. But behind the bold headlines lies a troubling reality. With less than a month to go, the tickets went on sale yesterday. Major venue shifts have raised serious concerns. Is the ICC genuinely pushing women’s cricket forward, or using prize money as a cover-up for poor planning and organisational chaos? Rupha Ramani breaks down the truth behind ICC’s “grandest” World Cup and what it really means for players, fans, and the future of women’s cricket.

Also on the show, Afghan women refugees are finding their voice through football. After fleeing Afghanistan due to the Taliban regime, the athletes have found their lost passion in the UK. FIFA organised a camp for the women's stars. Football isn't the only sport helping the Afghan women. Will sports prove to be medium where Taliban loses battle against Afghan women? And a Polish CEO has been trolled for snatching an autographed cap from a kid at the US Open. The CEO was trolled, and the fan got the best possible ending. The video reached Kamil Majchrzak, who won hearts with his gestures.
