Smriti Mandhana nominated for ICC Women's Player of the Month award in December

Smriti Mandhana has been nominated for the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for December. Australian all-rounder Annabel Sutherland and South African left-arm spinner Nonkululeko Mlaba are the other nominees along with the dynamic Indian left-handed batter.

Mandhana had a stupendous outing across formats in December. In three T20Is against the West Indies, the southpaw scored 193 runs at an average of



64.33 with a top score of 77. In six ODIs last month, the 28-year-old scored 270 runs at an average of 45 with a top score of 105.

She failed in the first two ODIs on the tour of Australia, but chipped in with a century in the third game at the WACA in Perth. Mandhana also set the record for most hundreds in Women’s ODIs (4) in a calendar year. She also scored 91 in one of the ODIs against the West Indies.
