Kane Williamson - The Best Cricketer of the Week

 


Weekly Top 5

1. Kane Williamson - 176 - Cricketers of the Week awards are fairly few and far between for Williamson. Believe it or not this is only the third time he has finished with a Weekly high score in his five years.

2. Sam Curran - 146 - Finishes in the Top 3 for the fourth successive week. Really enjoying his cricket at the moment - a stark contrast from his IPL foray.

3. Heinrich Klaasen - 124 - Has begun the new chapter of his cricketing life with a fairly disappointing 124 points spreads across three games in the MLC.

4. Wanindu Hasaranga - 75 - Big drop off between the Top 3 and the chasing but Wanindu Hasaranga will take anything after a very poor year so far. 25 runs and 20 wickets in two T20s doesn't often get you in the Top 5 but here we are.

5. Liam Livingstone - 71 - Back from winning the IPL with RCB, Livingstone had one decent outing for Lancashire this week courtesy of a quickfire 41 against Worcestershire.

Overall Top 5

1. Nat Sciver Brunt - 2134 - After her first foray into international captaincy for England, NSB returned to The Blaze with a decent 31 against Lancashire. Extends her lead by 53.

2. Jos Buttler - 2081 - Inactive this week but holds on to second place with by 21 points.

3. Sam Curran - 2060 - His fourth successive 3 figure score keeps him in third place, bit of a gap opening up between him and third too. Should be looking up rather than down.

4. Liam Dawson - 1944 - After his mixed return to the England set-up, Dawson had a rather underwhelming return to the T20 Blast with a solitary wicket and 13 runs. The gap between him and 5th, however, is the second largest of any two positions on the List.

5. Ravindra Jadeja - 1788 - Despite another inactive week he manages to just about hold onto fifth spot. If Klaasen had carried his IPL form into the MLC, he might have been in a spot of bother.

Ones to Watch

Two members of the England fraternity could have a bit of a tussle this week. Lancashire's Livingstone is 18th, 8 points ahead of England's Jamie Smith.

Top 3 Averages

1. Sam Curran - 158.46 (Down from 159.5)
2. Chamari Athapaththu -143.6
3. Nat Sciver-Brunt – 142.27 (Down from 148.79)

NSB moves down the most and just about holds on to her Top Three berth. The biggest improvement came from Kane Williamson, who moves up 8.81 to 106.31.

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.
