Dubai:<\/strong> ICC President Alan Isaac has thanked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for a successful staging of the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup 2013 and has praised the volunteers, organisers and sponsors for providing a wonderful opportunity to female cricketers to show their talent and potential on a world stage.
 
He added that the success of the tournament, as well as the forthcoming ICC World Twenty20 event in Bangladesh, where women\u2019s event will be staged alongside the men\u2019s event, would inspire more girls to take up the sport.
 
He said the quality of the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup 2013 would motivate teams to come to Bangladesh in March 2014 better prepared.
 
Speaking shortly after Australia beat West Indies by 114 runs at the Cricket Club of India in Mumbai on Sunday, Mr Isaac said: \u201cIt has been a high-quality event and has been a fantastic success.
 
\u201cI think the cricketers have appreciated the level of organisation and expertise that has been brought to the event. I am truly grateful to the people in Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA), Odisha Cricket Association (OCA) and the ICC for the way in which they put the whole thing together. It has been really very impressive.\u201d
 
\u201cIt has truly been a world-class tournament. The event returned to India after 16 years and I know the cricketers have appreciated the level of organisation and expertise that was brought to the event.
 
\u201cSpecial thanks to the people of Mumbai and Cuttack along with the venues, who backed this event so magnificently. They prepared for this event despite having a short notice and it showed in the final product,\u201d added Mr Isaac.
 
The ICC President, who watched Sunday\u2019s final between Australia and West Indies and presented the trophy to the winning side added: \u201cThe contribution of the volunteers has been really excellent. They worked tirelessly and contributed immensely to the success of this tournament.
 
\u201cThe ground staff at the various venues also deserves recognition for their talent and devotion in producing pitches that allowed all the eight sides to display their skills in perfect conditions.\u201d
 
The tournament which was spread over 18 days in which 24 matches produced outstanding individual and team performances with New Zealand captain and player of the tournament Suzie Bates ending as the highest run-getter with 407 runs from seven games at an average of 67.83.
 
Meanwhile, England captain Charlotte Edwards ended with two hundreds in the tournament apart from becoming the highest run-getter in women\u2019s ODI cricket, Deandra Dottin and Stafanie Taylor produced some exciting batting, Sri Lanka\u2019s thrilling wins over India and England, West Indies\u2019 thrilling win over Australia and Australia\u2019s nail-biting victory over England in the Super Six stage.
 
Isaac thanked the players for their superb performances and hoped the exciting women\u2019s cricket calendar would motivate more players. \u201cWe should not forget the cricketers who gave their heart and soul for their teams and played cricket in accordance with its rich traditions.
 
\u201cAfter watching over the past few days, I was pleased to see the standard. It was a pleasure to watch women\u2019s cricket which was skillful, demanding and very good entertainment.
 
\u201cIt is my certain view that the teams which have not done so well this time will be motivated by the quality of this event and would try to do better in the immediate future.
 
\u201cWith an ICC World Twenty20 event coming up in relatively short period where a women\u2019s event will be staged alongside the men\u2019s event for the fourth time in a row, this is very promising for women\u2019s cricket and more girls will be interested and  motivated by this calendar.\u201d
 
Isaac also thanked the contribution of ICC\u2019s commercial partners: \u201cThe ICC owes a huge vote of thanks to our commercial partners Reliance, LG, Pepsi, Emirates, Reebok, Castrol, MoneyGram and Hyundai,\u201d he said.
 
ICC\u2019s broadcast partner STAR Sports produced High Definition live coverage all the ten matches from the Cricket Club of India and ensured that a global audience of millions in more than 150 territories got a chance to see the best of the best in women\u2019s cricket.
 
\u201cThe ICC would also like to thank STAR Sports, its global broadcast partner, for their efforts in producing a high quality broadcast of all the 10 matches played at the Cricket Club of India, as well as STAR Sports\u2019 licensees that broadcast those matches.\u201d
 
For the first five televised matches of the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup 2013 in India, for which data is available as of now, the TV ratings have shot up by approximately seven and a half times as compared to first five televised matches of the 2009 edition. The number of people who have seen the live telecast of these matches has also seen a six fold increase over the 2009 edition.<\/p>\n

Isaac congratulated Australia for winning the ICC Women\u2019s World Cup for sixth time. \u201cIt has been an incredible performance by Australia. The way the team performed reflects the talent and self-confidence of the side. It just sums up three great weeks for them in India.
 
\u201cCongratulations also go to the West Indies which gave a very good account of itself throughout the tournament. It\u2019s just bad luck that their exciting run had to come to an end in the final.
 
\u201cLastly, I would like to thank all the players and members of the support staff for giving their best performances while upholding the spirit of our Great Sport. I am sure the players will take a lot of positives from this tournament,\u201d Isaac concluded.<\/p>\n
