[4] Andrea-Mae Zepeda of Austria completed a clean sweep of POTM awards in a WT20I series against Belgium in September 2021.
Hayley Matthews achieved the same feat for the West Indies against Australian in October 2023, despite her team losing the series 2–1.
However, in ODIs and Twenty20 internationals this is usually when a member of the losing team is the highest scorer, such as when Charles Coventry (194) and Tamim Iqbal (154) shared the award after Zimbabwe lost the match.
[17] There was one rare instance where three players were given the man of the match award in Test cricket.
[18] In one occasion in international cricket, man of the match was given to a non-player, specifically to the ground staff.
In the third Test match between South Africa and New Zealand on 8 December 2000 at Johannesburg, the fifth day was delayed due to rain.
However, with the help of the ground staff, managed by Chris Scott, the Head Groundsman, the play continued and the match ended in a draw.
