Shortlist for ICC Women's Player of the Month for May 2025 unveiled
The West Indies skipper picked up from where she had left last month at the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Pakistan. Leading the white-ball side on the tour of England, Matthews emerged as the leading performer in the three-match T20I series. The swashbuckling batter scored 177 runs at a hefty strike rate of 137.20, averaging 88.50. The 27-year-old also claimed three wickets and was named the Player of the Series. Following it up in the first of the three ODIs against England, Matthews was also at her all-round best - picking up two wickets and 48 runs in the fixture. Hayley Matthews' magic with the bat | WCWCQ 2025 The South Africa all-rounder led their efforts in the ODI tri-series against India and Sri Lanka. Tyron compiled 176 runs from three ODIs across the month, averaging 58.66, while also nabbing six wickets at an economy of just 5. The 31-year-old all-rounder was particularly impressive in South Africa's final outing of the tri-series against hosts Sri Lanka. With the Proteas batting first, Tyron's 74 helped her side past the 300-run mark to a staggering total. With the ball, the left-arm orthodox spinner then went on to seize her first-ever ODI five-wicket haul - finishing with figures of 5/34. The Indian batting maestro was on song during India's triumphant tri-series in Sri Lanka. Rodrigues amassed 204 runs from the final three fixtures, including the summit clash against Sri Lanka, to help India to a statement win with the Women's Cricket World Cup at home on the horizon. The elegant right-handed batter produced a remarkable performance against South Africa in the run to the final. Having scored her maiden ODI ton earlier this year, Rodrigues went on to score her second in the format, stitching together 123 runs off 101 deliveries, which included 15 fours and a six. In the final against Sri Lanka, Rodrigues produced a crucial knock off 44 to help India to a commanding total, and eventually a 97-run win.
