NEW DELHI: Former India captain Mithali Raj reserved praise for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) opener Grace Harris after the Australian’s whirlwind knock helped her side claim a top-of-the-table victory in the Women’s Premier League (WPL).
Harris launched an impressive attack on her previous franchise, the UP Warriorz, hitting the ball all over the DY Patil Stadium. By the time she was dismissed, scoring 85 off 40 balls, RCB needed only seven more runs to win with 50 balls left.
Mithali applauded Harris' match-winning blitz and lauded her shot execution. "Grace Harris set the tone right from Deepti Sharma’s first over, playing through the line and taking on the quicks fearlessly. Her timing was impeccable, and the power behind every executed shot was unreal. At one point, even we commentators wondered what line or length could stop her. Set and in full flow, she went berserk, finding gaps, boundaries and sixes with complete ease wherever the ball was bowled, ” she said on JioStar.
