"Smriti Mandhana: ICC Women's ODI Cricketer of the Year Nominee"


ICC Women's ODI Cricketer of the Year:


Smriti Mandhana named as nominee

A versatile all-rounder from Australia and top-order batsmen from South Africa, Sri Lanka, and India are among the impressive list of nominees for the ICC Women's ODI Cricketer of the Year award for 2024. Smriti Mandhana of India stands out among them due to her outstanding international cricket season. Smriti Mandhana produced outstanding performances in 2024, amassing 743 runs in 12 innings at a remarkable strike rate of 96.99 and an average of 61.91. In addition, the left-hander contributed one wicket, demonstrating her versatility.

 

With consecutive centuries against South Africa in Bengaluru in June, Mandhana's season took off. After the ICC Women's T20 World Cup, she scored two more hundreds, one of which came during India's home series against New Zealand. Even though India lost the series 3-0, she had a great year by hitting a century in the last game of the series against Australia. In the second game of India's June home series against South Africa, Mandhana gave an outstanding all-around performance. The groundwork for India's 325/3 total was laid by her outstanding 136 from just 120 balls, which included 18 fours and two sixes. Later, she helped India win by a slim margin of four wickets by taking the vital wicket of South Africa captain Sune Luus.
