ICC has announced the nominees for the Women's player of the month award for September on Wednesday and Nigar Sultana Joty has been named among three nominees for her batting performance in the ICC T20 Women’s World Cup Qualifier.
Bangladesh finished as Champions of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier 2022 in the UAE and captain Joty had a crucial role to play in it, both as a leader and a batter.
In the opening game, her 53-ball 67 helped Bangladesh post a defendable total of 143, which eventually proved to be 14 runs too many for Ireland. She top-scored her team in the modest chase of 78 against Scotland and followed it up with an unbeaten 56 off 40 against USA.
Though her form dipped in the knockout stage, she still finished as the second-highest run-getter in the tournament with 180 runs in five games while averaging 45 and a strike-rate of 105.26.
The other two nominees are from India - Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana.
