The dynamic all-rounder edged out fellow nominees
of the West Indies and India's
to claim the prestigious monthly honor.
Tryon led from the front in Sri Lanka, playing a key role with both bat and ball across the series. She was particularly impressive in South Africa's penultimate fixture, a narrow 23-run loss to India, where she struck a blazing 67 off just 43 balls. Her innings featured four boundaries and five sixes as she powered her team's chase of 337.
Earlier in the match, she claimed the crucial wicket of Indian opener Smriti Mandhana, finishing with figures of 1/46.
However, it was in the final match of the tri-series that Tryon truly stamped her authority. Batting first, she hammered 74 runs from 51 deliveries, smashing four fours and five sixes to help South Africa post a commanding 315. With the ball, she delivered a career-best performance, picking up her maiden five-wicket haul, finishing with 5/34 in eight overs—including a memorable hat-trick—as the Proteas sealed a 76-run victory.
Tryon ended the month with 176 runs at an average of 58.66 and a strike rate of 131.34 in three ODIs, along with six wickets at an economy rate of 5.00.
Reacting to the recognition, Tryon said, 'I probably didn't expect this award, but I see it as a great achievement. I've been trying to find consistency for a while, so I'm happy that it finally came together in Sri Lanka... Everything came together, and I'm just really happy that I could perform and help the team win.'
With a World Cup on the horizon, the 31-year-old will be aiming to build on her form and continue delivering match-winning performances.

Tim David scores fastest T20 century for Australia in series-clinching win
BASSETERRE: Tim David scored the fastest century for Australia in a Twenty20 international which lifted the tourists to a series-clinching six-wicket win over West Indies in the third game of a five-match series on Friday. David and Mitchell Owen's unbroken 128-run stand guided Australia to 215-4 off 16.1 overs to seal the victory and an unassailable 3-0 series lead. Making the most of the small dimensions at Warner Park in David brought up his first international century from the final ball of the match with his sixth boundary. His blistering 102 not out, with 11 sixes, came from just 37 balls and bettered the mark of 43 balls set by current team-mate Josh Inglis against Scotland last year. It was also the third fastest century among ICC member nations, with only India's Rohit Sharma and South Africa's David Miller bettering the mark with 35 balls, both in 2017. "I didn't think I would have the opportunity to score 100 for Australia, so I'm so grateful for that opportunity and and pretty stoked," David said. David's fireworks overshadowed a brilliant unbeaten century by West Indies captain Shai Hope (102 off 57 balls) which featured eight boundaries and six sixes to lead West Indies to 214-4 off its 20 overs. Hope combined with opening partner Brandon King to put on 125 runs in 11.4 overs as the hosts made a rapid-fire start after losing the toss and being asked to bat first.
