“It’s a real honour to win this award,” Bryce said. “Knowing that it’s being voted for by the global cricket community makes it that extra bit special; even just to be nominated alongside two players of the stature of Fatima Sana and Hayley Matthews, who both had fantastic tournaments themselves, was amazing.”
The Scotland captain amassed 293 runs from her five outings, averaging an astonishing 73.25 in a campaign that included a ton and two half-centuries.
Her standout performance came against Ireland when she scored the highest individual score of the tournament – 131* off 137 deliveries – an innings that highlighted her nous with the bat.
“The World Cup Qualifier was a fantastic competition for our Scotland team,” Bryce added.
“The way that we played our cricket and developed and grew in a format that we’ve not played a huge amount of together was great to see, and it was terrific to have a lot of different players standing up and taking charge of the game at various moments.
