"It was great to be nominated for the award and to win it is an amazing feeling. To come out as winner when being nominated alongside Smriti and Nigar is very humbling. I have always taken immense pride in representing my country and achieving the historic ODI series win in England will remain a landmark moment for me in my career." Harmanpreet said after winning the award.

Although, Bangladesh's Nigar Sultana, who performed brilliantly in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier in the United Arab Emirates, Indian captain and vice-captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana were in the list for the ICC Women's player of the month award. But Harmanpreet won this award leaving Sultana and Mandhana behind.

The month of September was memorable for Harmanpreet. India took a 3-0 clean sweep in the ODI series against England under her leadership. India won the first series in ODIs in England since 1999. In addition, Harmanpreet scored 221 runs in three matches. She made an unbeaten 74 in the first ODI, followed by 143 off 111 balls in the second ODI.

On the other hand, in the men's section, Mohammad Rizwan beat India's left-arm spinner Axar Patel and Australian all-rounder Cameron Green in the race for the prize. Rizwan also showed great form in September.

"I would like to thank Almighty Allah and express my heartfelt delight to all that enabled me to achieve this award. I want to give my high appreciation to all my teammates as they made things easy for me. These achievements boost your confidence. I am happy with my performance and I would like to take this momentum forward in Australia," Rizwan said.

Results from India vs New Zealand match in ICC events

ODI World Cups

India and New Zealand have shared victories in their World Cup history, making this rivalry an exciting one.

In the early years, New Zealand had the upper hand, winning multiple encounters, but India bounced back in the late 1980s and early 2000s.

The 2019 semi-final remains one of the most memorable matches, where New Zealand eliminated India with an 18-run victory. Rain played a role in the 2019 group-stage match, which was abandoned.

India have performed well in some editions, but New Zealand have been more successful in knockout games.

"Use of saliva on ball," Mohammed Shami wants the ban to be lifted on applying saliva on the ball

The ban on the use of saliva on ball was first imposed in May 2020 as a temporary measure during the COVID-19 pandemic. Then, in September 2022, the ICC made the ban permanent.

"Use of saliva on ball," Mohammed Shami wants the ban to be lifted on applying saliva on the ball

Indian bowler Mohammed Shami recently demanded the ICC to lift the ban on applying saliva on ball. Now former New Zealand bowler Tim Southee and former South African all-rounder Vernon Philander have supported Shami's demand.

Shami, while talking to reporters after Team India's 4-wicket win over Australia in the first semi-final of the Champions Trophy, had requested the ICC to lift the ban on the use of saliva on ball.

Use of saliva on ball should be allowed to bring back reverse swing

"We are trying (to get reverse swing), but the usage of saliva on the ball is not allowed," Shami told reporters.

"We keep appealing that we should be allowed to use saliva so that we can bring reverse swing back into the game and it becomes interesting."

Southee and Philander backed Shami

Supporting Shami's statement, Southee said on ESPNcricinfo's Match Day, "That was a rule brought around Covid with the virus going around the world, but I think as a bowler, you want to have a slight advantage," 

"We see the game going the way it's going and seeing sides score 362 and more often than not over 300 in this format. I think there needs to be something in the bowlers' favour, and whether that's a little bit of saliva, then yeah, I don't see why they couldn't afford to get that back in."

At the same time, Philander said that in the second semi-final played against New Zealand, the South African bowlers could have benefited from applying saliva and using reverse swing, particularly in the later half of the innings. New Zealand amassed 362 for 6 in their 50 overs.

"If we look at the state of that ball, I mean towards the back end, it was really scuffed up, and I think had you used the saliva [to polish one side of the ball], the element of the reverse swing might have come into play," Philander said.

"So it certainly does play a part. You can get it to shine up and you use the elements to swing it a little longer."

India vs New Zealand: Pitch Report

The surface of the new pitch looked suitable for the fast bowlers in the last two matches played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

The team winning the toss will prefer to chase the target on this ground.
