Athapaththu, Matthews, Wolvaardt Make The Cut For ICC Women’s Player Of The Month Award
T20 World Cup Qualifier: Sri Lanka's influential leader Chamari Athapaththu, West Indies’ stellar captain Hayley Matthews and South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt have made the cut for the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for April 2024.
Chamari, who was ICC Women’s ODI Cricketer of the Year for 2023, continued her dominance in the 50-over format by reclaiming the top spot in the ICC Women’s ODI batting rankings after a stellar showing in April. She smashed an unbeaten 195 in Potchefstroom against South Africa as the tourists won in a record run chase. Her 258 runs in the ODI series were complemented by 148 runs in the T20Is, which included two half-centuries in South Africa.
The Sri Lankan's stellar run continued by smashing a fifty against Scotland in the ongoing Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier in Abu Dhabi, where Sri Lanka eventually sealed their qualification thanks to their semifinal success over UAE on Sunday.
