Bangladesh’s spin bowling sensation, Nahida Akter, on Monday, clinched the ICC Women’s Player of the Month award for November due to her wicket-taking exploits in last month’s competitive ODI series victory over Pakistan on home soil.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) today revealed the ICC Men’s and Women’s Player of the Month award winners for November 2023 after shortlists was announced last Thursday. She is the first Bangladesh women’s player to win the award.
In the first ODI encounter of the series, Akter claimed three wickets for 30 with a consistent spell of pressure bowling. With Pakistan chasing down a lowly 82 for victory, the spinner kept the contest competitive, claiming the wickets of Sidra Ameen, Bismah Maroof, and Aliya Riaz to trouble the tourists in their charge to victory.
A quieter second match followed before Akter again starred in the decisive third fixture. In the final game, she picked up 3/26 and helped Bangladesh restrict Pakistan to 166/9, laying the foundations for Akter’s teammates to seal the series with the bat in a seven-wicket victory.
