Southern Stars all-rounder Shelley Nitschke was named the Women's International Cricketer of the Year at the Allan Border Medal presentation in Melbourne on Tuesday night.
Despite missing two matches during the voting period, Nitschke collected 27 points to defeat all-rounder Lisa Sthalekar by two, with Jodie Fields (22), Alex Blackwell (19) and Emma Sampson (15) rounding out the top five.
Her win denied Sthalekar a third straight victory.
The award was recognition for Nitschke's stellar performances during the voting period which saw her average 38.13 with the bat and 24.43 with the ball in the eight one-day and Twenty20 internationals she played.
Nitschke was not able to receive the award in person as she is currently away with the Southern Stars, who are engaged in a five-match Rose Bowl series against New Zealand.
Previous winners of the award have been champion batter Karen Rolton (2002, 2003, 2005, 2006), fast bowler Cathryn Fitzpatrick (2004) and Sthalekar.
