His hauls of 4\/86 and 5\/104 underlined his match-winning influence, earning him a strong claim to the monthly honour.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Siraj in the men\u2019s shortlist are New Zealand\u2019s Matt Henry and West Indies\u2019 Jayden Seales. Henry, adjudged Player of the Series in Zimbabwe, returned match figures of 9\/90 and 7\/56 across two crushing victories in Bulawayo. Seales, meanwhile, starred in West Indies\u2019 landmark ODI series win over Pakistan \u2013 their first since 1991 \u2013 claiming 10 wickets, including a career-best 6\/18 in the series decider.<\/p>\n<p>On the women\u2019s side, the shortlist features Pakistan\u2019s Muneeba Ali, Ireland\u2019s Orla Prendergast, and Netherlands\u2019 Iris Zwilling. Muneeba smashed a historic unbeaten century \u2013 only the second ever by a Pakistan batter in WT20Is \u2013 to seal victory against Ireland. Prendergast delivered across formats, compiling 244 runs and seven wickets through August, including a Player of the Series display at home against Pakistan. Zwilling impressed in the ICC Women\u2019s T20 World Cup Europe Qualifier, taking 10 wickets at a miserly economy rate of 4.65.<\/p>\n<p>The winners will be decided through a combination of fan votes and ballots from the ICC Voting Academy, which includes former players, journalists, and broadcasters. Fans can cast their votes at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.icc-cricket.com\/awards\">icc-cricket.com\/awards<\/a>&nbsp;, contributing 10% of the final tally.
