Ireland's Laura Delany has been voted the ICC Player of the Month for October.
The Irish captain shone in their 3-1 ODI series win over Zimbabwe, flourishing with bat and ball, scoring 189 runs at 63, and taking four wickets at 27.
Delany beat team-mate Gaby Lewis and Zimbabwe's Mary-Anne Musonda to the women's prize.
She follows Eimear Richardson in landing the honour, with her team-mate claiming it in August.
ICC Voting Academy member Lisa Sthalekar said: "Laura has been playing International cricket for over a decade and has the difficult task of captaining her country, which carries a great weight of expectation.
"I have been following her career, ever since I played alongside her in the Gordon Women's Club in Sydney and watched her development.
"This recent series was a breakout series for her as she was able to register her highest ODI score and is a worthy recipient of the ICC Women’s Player of the Month for October."
Delany says it is "a great honour" to receive such an accolade.
"I was delighted to be nominated with Gaby and Mary-Anne, and from an Irish perspective it has been a really good sign that we've had a few players in recent times to have been nominated," she said. "It’s a great honour to win it though, and I’d like to thank Lisa [Sthalekar] for her kind words."
