Babar’s match-winning 82-ball 94 in the\u00a0third ODI against South Africa\u00a0helped him gain 13 rating points to reach a career-best 865 points. He also contributed 122 from 59 balls in Pakistan\u2019s successful chase in the third match of a T20I series against the same opposition.<\/p>\n

Ramiz Raja, part of the\u00a0ICC Voting Academy said:\u00a0\u201cThe world bats in two ways in white ball cricket. One way is to destroy attacks with muscle and force and then there is the Babar Azam way, like conducting a batting symphony with punch, panache and flair, and he deserves to win this award.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the other hand,\u00a0\u00a0Australia’s\u00a0Alyssa Healy\u00a0named the\u00a0ICC Women\u2019s Player of the Month for April 2021.\u00a0<\/strong>Healy\u2019s consistency with the bat has been a significant part of Australia\u2019s dominance, showing her class in all conditions and against all types of bowling in the recent series against New Zealand.<\/p>\n

\n

\"?\" Three ODIs, 155 runs at 51.66
\"?\" Leading run-scorer in Australia\u2019s record-breaking ODI series win over New Zealand<\/p>\n
