Pakistan opener Sidra Ameen has won the Women’s Player of the Month award for the first time after her stunning display with the bat in November.
In the home ODI series against Ireland, Sidra made 277 runs, including the fifth-highest individual score in women’s ODIs in the first game in Lahore.
Sidra scored an unbeaten 176 from 151 balls against Ireland. In the match, she shared a century with Muneeba Ali, setting a record-breaking 221-run first wicket partnership.
Sidra’s 176 was also the first score greater than 150 in women’s ODIs by Pakistan. Ameen made another brilliant contribution in the series at the same venue, making 91* in the second match as Pakistan completed a series victory.
Ameen also rose to 22nd on the ICC Women’s ODI Batting Rankings and is the highest-ranked Pakistan batter on the list.
“I feel great to have won this award,” she said.
“It is also special following my teammate Nida Dar who won the award for October.
“This shows our team has displayed some great performances in the past few months in international cricket.
“I would like to dedicate this award to my parents and to everyone who has always supported me and prayed for my success.
