The century was also Pakistan’s first score greater than 150 in women’s ODIs. She went on to make another brilliant contribution in the series at the same venue, making 91* in the second match as Pakistan completed a series victory.
Ameen also rose to 22nd on the ICC Women’s ODI Batting Rankings and is the highest ranked Pakistan batter on the list. Ameen was understandably thrilled to accept the monthly award.
“I feel great to have won this award,” she said.
“It is also special following my teammate Nida Dar who won the award for October.
“This shows our team has displayed some great performances in the past few months in international cricket.
“I would like to dedicate this award to my parents and to everyone who has always supported me and prayed for my success.
“My performance with the bat against Ireland which helped the side claim the sweep over Ireland in the ODI series at home will always remain close to my heart. “Individually, this year has been great for me, I have scored three ODIs centuries and all coming this year.
“And to top it off, ending the year by winning the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for November is just amazing.” ICC Hall of Famer and member of the voting panel Lisa Sthalekar said Ameen was a much-deserved winner.
“When you get an opportunity to score a hundred it is a special moment, but for Sidra to go on and make it a big one, 176 and then to back it up with 91 in the very next match, this shows not only that she has the skills, but she has the temperament.”
