happy a Wednesday. The ICC has announced that next month's
Women's T twenty World Cup will offer a record twelve

winning the previous edition last year. And yet they received
three point nine to six million earlier this year for
winning the Men's T twenty World Cup, which handed out
a total of eighteen point one nine million. That first
game for the White Ferns will be on October the fifth,
three am, first ball being bold in that one. They're
currently in Australia for a bit of a three game

(00:42):
T twenty series, which first ball or first game of
that three game series will ten past nine tomorrow night,
New Zealand time. And the Scotland they've come to the
savior of the Comwealth Games. The country's government has come
to the rescue, as mentioned, offering to host the twenty

(01:02):
been looking for a home after Victoria pulled out last year,
siding spiraling costs. As a consequence, Australia have still have
to pay. Listen to this four hundred and fifteen million
dollars in compensation to the Commonwealth Games Federation of Watch.
Around two hundred and eighteen million of that money will
be now directed to Scotland so they don't have to
dip too deeply into their wallets. It's going to be

sports and four venues, budget, opening and closing ceremonies, and
no athlete village.
