India, Nov. 8 -- The Women's World Cup will be expanded to 10 teams from the current eight for its next edition in 2029, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said on Friday. The decision comes less than a week after India defeated South Africa in the final of the latest tournament.

The 2029 edition will follow record attendance and viewership figures during the recent World Cup, which drew nearly 300,000 spectators in stadiums and attracted around 500 million television and digital viewers in India alone.
