Dubai, April 8 (NationPress) The Australian pair of Annabel Sutherland and Georgia Voll, alongside Chetnaa Prasad from the USA, have been shortlisted for the prestigious ICC Women's Player of the Month for March 2025. After clinching the ICC Women’s Player of the Month Award in December 2024, Sutherland is poised for another accolade following her phenomenal performances in March.

This all-rounder excelled against her Trans-Tasman rivals, New Zealand, where she scored a quick 34 runs and took eight wickets with an impressive average of just eight. Notably, all her wickets were captured in the last two matches of the series, with back-to-back four-wicket hauls. In the second T20I, she delivered her best figures in the format, achieving 4-8.

Additionally, Sutherland contributed an unbroken 23 off 15 balls in the second T20I, aiding her team in posting a winning total against New Zealand.

Another outstanding nominee is the young Georgia Voll, aged 21, who debuted internationally in December 2024 and has quickly established herself in the Australian team.

Voll played a vital role in Australia's 3-0 sweep against the White Ferns in March, providing solid starts with experienced partner Beth Mooney. She finished second in the run-scoring leaderboard with 161 runs, starting with a notable 50 off 31 balls in the opening match, followed by a quick 36 off 20 in the second T20I, and concluding the series with a personal best of 75 off 57 in the final match.

The 19-year-old Chetnaa Prasad shone during the USA’s Women's T20 World Cup Americas Region Qualifier last month.

Even though she played only three matches, Prasad made a significant impact, taking nine wickets at an average of an incredible 2.22. Her contributions were crucial in maintaining the USA's momentum leading into the latter part of the tournament, securing their spot in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Global Qualifier.

Prasad began her campaign with a key spell of 4-8 against Brazil, followed by figures of 1-7 against Argentina. In the final match, she led her team to victory over Canada with remarkable figures of 4-5.
