Smriti Mandhana Wins ICC Women’s ODI Cricketer Of The Year Award
Narendra Modi Stadium: India vice-captain Smriti Mandhana has been named the ICC Women’s ODI Cricketer of the Year for 2024. She pipped Australia all-rounder Annabel Sutherland, Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu and South Africa skipper Laura Wolvaardt to win the top honour for the second time after 2018.
Smriti, the left-handed opener, had a fantastic 2024 as she finished as the highest run-scorer in women’s ODIs with an impressive 747 runs coming in just 13 matches, the most number of runs she’s scored in a calendar year in the 50-over format, coming at an impressive average of 57.86 and strike rate of 95.15.
She also scored four ODI centuries in the year and set a new record in the women’s game. Her year in ODIs began modestly with 29 against Australia in January. But when India returned to action in ODIs against South Africa in June, Smriti was in blistering form.
