\nThe International Cricket Council (ICC) has nominated Pakistan\u2019s top-order batter Sidra Amin as a finalist for the ICC Women\u2019s Player of the Month award for September 2025, after recognising her outstanding performance against South Africa.
\nAmin dominated the ODI series, emerging as the leading run-scorer with 293 runs in three matches at an extraordinary average of 293.00.
\nShe struck consecutive unbeaten centuries, 121 and 122* showcasing remarkable consistency and composure at the top of the order.
\nDespite Pakistan losing the first two games, her efforts helped the team post competitive totals.
\nIn the final ODI, Amin once again anchored the chase with an unbeaten fifty, guiding Pakistan to a consolation win and halting South Africa\u2019s winning streak.
\nJoining Amin on the nominees list are India\u2019s Smriti Mandhana and South Africa\u2019s Tazmin Brits, both of whom produced exceptional performances during the month.
\nMandhana continued her rich vein of form in ODIs, scoring 308 runs in four matches at an average of 77.00 and a blistering strike rate of 135.68 against Australia.
\nHer scores of 58, 117, and 125 included a record-breaking 50-ball century in the series decider, which is the fastest ODI century by an Indian woman and the second-quickest overall in women\u2019s ODI history.
\nDespite India\u2019s series loss, Mandhana\u2019s heroics earned her the Player of the Series award.
\nSouth Africa\u2019s Tazmin Brits was equally impressive, powering her side to a 2-1 series victory over Pakistan. The right-hander amassed 272 runs in two innings at a strike rate of 103.81, earning the Player of the Series accolade.
\nHer back-to-back unbeaten centuries (101* and 171*) underscored her ability to construct long innings and dominate bowling attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
