Nat Sciver-Brunt - The Best Cricketer of the Week....again

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 327 - Absolutely stormed the Weekly Top 5 this week with her nearest competitor 216 points below her. Is in such fine from for Mumbai Indians Women; she is the highest run scorer and the fifth highest wicket taker.

2. Jos Buttler - 111- A second place finish for Jos Buttler. What a week England must be having. I can't wait to check out how they've done in the Champions Trophy. 

3. Liam Livingstone - 104 - 67% of his total this week came from the ball rather than the bat....never mind though....all points count and England will need performances all over the scorecard to have success in the Champions Trophy. 

4. Annabel Sutherland - Not aa prolific as her 213 last week but enough to finish fourth on a low scoring week. She was not helped by only featuring in a solitary WIPL game.

5. Harry Brook - 48 - On a low scoring week, a mere 48 points are enough to see you in fifth place. A massive success for a surely resurgent Harry Brook. 

Overall Top 5

1. Nat Sciver Brunt - 1061 - 2 weeks ago, NSB was 542 away from the 1000 point mark and had 10 players between her and first. After two List topping weeks she is now the first player over 100 and up to first.

2. Sam Curran - 997 - Inactive for the second week and down a place to second.

3. Wanindu Hasaranga - 980n - Inactive this week and down to his spiritual home of 3rd spot; he has spent 5 of the last 8 weeks in third.

4. Ravindra Jadeja - 830 - Only 40 points for Jadeja this week and drops down a place to fourth.

5. Annabel Sutherland - 797 - Her 76 points from this week just nudges her into a Top 5 place at the expense of the perennially inactive Chamari Athapaththu.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran = 199.4
2. Chamari Athapaththu - 189.75
3. Nicholas Pooran - 165.75.

Some big old swings this week, NSB is up 29.24 to 151.57 points an active week whilst Travis Head drops by 28 points to 90.

Nat Sciver-Brunt - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Just seven active cricketers this week so only enough for a Top 3.

Weekly Top 3

1. Nat Sciver-Brunt = 277 - Was the stand out performer for insipid England and now she's playing with proper cricketers is shining once more. Only played two games this week but got half centuries in both.

2. Annabel Sutherland - 213 - 5 wickets and 73 runs from 3 WIPL games is decent fair for the Aussie all-rounder. Sees her leap up 6 places in the Overall List to 6th place.

3. Babar Azam - 123 - Criticism continues to swirl around Pakistan's ex-captain however he does enough to get him bronze medal for the week and moves up two places to 13th overall.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 997 - Can thank an incredibly static Top 5 for his third consecutive week in top spot.

2. Wanindu Hasaranga - 980 - Parked a long way in front of the other 22 players on the List....but is just that.....parked.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 790 - Improves his overall score this week by a rather underwhelming 20 points. The gap between himself and second place is still the largest of any gap in the List; standing at 190 points.

4. Chamari Athapaththu - 759 - Surprisingly inactive from the WIPL thus far...and, perhaps as a result of this, as expressed her intention of leaving the tournament early to represent Sri Lanka in their forthcoming tour of New Zealand in just over a week's time.

5. Nat Sciver-Brunt - 734 - Tops the scores for the week and subsequently surges up from 11th to 5th. Athapaththu, herself and Annabel Sutherland form an all-female 4th, 5th, and 6th with only 38 points between them.

Other Movers

Only two players scored fewer than him this week, but Suryakumar Yadav's 53 was enough to see him move up three places to 17th.

Ones To Watch

There is currently a single point between Champions Trophy duo, Babar Azam and Adam Zampa. Will the batter or the bowler do better this week?

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran = 199.4
2. Chamari Athapaththu - 189.75
3. Nicholas Pooran - 165.75.

Ravindra Jadeja's poor score sees him relinquish his top three spot to Nicholas Pooran. He now averages 158 points a week. NSB moves up the most with her average of 123.33 30.93 greater than last week.

Wanindu Hasaranga - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 

Weekly Top 5

1. Wanindu Hasaranga - 310 - An excellent display in the 2nd ODI against Australis was bolstered by a rare appearance for Colombo in the Major League Tournament.

2. Kane Williamson - 261 - What a renaissance Williamson is having with the white ball. After being one of the stand out performers in the SAT20, he then scores 191 runs in two ODI appearances for New Zealand. Should expect a strong Champions trophy from the veteran. Moves up 4 places Overall to 6th.

3. Sam Curran - 216 - Finishes the ILT20 as the MVP...and it is very hard to argue with that. With contributions with bat and ball Curran was instrumental to his Desert Vipers side getting to the final.

4. Travis Head - 179 - Broke free from some insipid performances so far in 2025. His score of 179 is more than he scored in his precious two active week combined.

5. Phil Salt - 149 - Continues his decent start to the year with his third three figure score. This week sees his fifth consecutive score across all formats above 20.

Overall Top 5

1. Sam Curran - 997 - His second week in first place. A spell of time away from cricket beckons for Curran now. How low will he drop and will he be able to get straight back into form on his return?

2. Wanindu Hasaranga - 980 - Up to his highest position in his short time on our Lists. He has placed a huge gulf between himself and 3rd place; 210 is the largest gap at any point on our List.

3. Ravindra Jadeja - 770 - Has been all over our Top 5 in the last month, occupying every space apart from the coveted top spot. Will his time ever come?

4. Chamari Athapaththu - 759 - Her last inactive week until her involvement in the WIPL starts....but she often blows hot and cold in franchise cricket.

5. Nicholas Pooran - 663 - Inactive this week...and just about holds off Kane Williamson's charge. 19 points separate him and 6th.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran = 199.4 (Up from 195.25)
2. Ravindra Jadeja - 192.5 (Down from 209.67)
3. Chamari Athapaththu - 189.75

Travis Head's doubling of his score sees his average improve by 55 points to 118 whilst Nissanka's insipid week sees his down 13.67 to 66.33.
