For the first five televised matches of the ICC Women's 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. Isaac congratulated Australia for winning the ICC Women's World Cup for sixth time. "It 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." "Congratulations also go to the West Indies which gave a very good account of itself throughout the tournament. It's just bad luck that their exciting run had to come to an end in the final. "Lastly, 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," Isaac concluded.
