Man of the match

In sport, a man of the match or player of the game award is given to the outstanding player in a particular match. Such awards are often organised by the television broadcaster. In professional sports, the award itself may involve cash, a trophy, or a celebratory magnum of champagne, but in amateur sports, especially collegiate sports in the United States, such material prizes are often forbidden and the award is purely honorary.

Cricket

In cricket, the Man of the Match award may be given to the highest scoring batsman, leading wicket taker or best overall performance.
