Sharmin nominated for Nov POTM

Two terrific top-order batters and a stylish all-rounder make it to the ICC Women’s Player of the Month (POTM) nomination list for November 2024. Sharmin Akhter played a crucial role in Bangladesh’s ODI series success against Ireland, anchoring the batting line-up with two standout performances in the first two ODIs.

The right-hand batter amassed 139 runs in just two matches at an average of 69.50 and a strike rate of 91.44. In the series opener, Sharmin narrowly missed her maiden ODI century, top-scoring with 96 that handed her team a massive 154-run win. The 28-year-old followed it up with a solid 43 in the second match, helping Bangladesh take an unassailable 2-0 series lead. Later, Bangladesh clinched the series 3-0.
