Crowd numbers for women’s fixtures have passed 100,000 across the past two seasons of the tournament, with records consistently broken at individual venues.
The attendances for fixtures across 17 and 18 August were 47,726 spectators across four women’s matches.
“More investment should help both the men’s side and the women’s side. Obviously we don’t know the details of what that will look like and what’s going to happen, but I’m hoping that it will be really positive,” said Sciver-Brunt.
One element of the tournament that could change are the much-loved double-headers.
England and Wales Cricket Board chief executive Richard Gould has suggested that independent fixtures would represent a positive change.
“At some point, we would like to try and find a way that we can have standalone fixtures. Getting a capacity crowd for a women’s Hundred fixture at some point in the next couple of years has to be a target for us,” Gould told ESPNCricinfo, external in June.
