Grace Harris is a 32-year-old Australian all-rounder, born September 18, 1993, known for her powerful right-handed batting and right-arm off-spin bowling.

This was possible due to the blitzkrieg attack by Harris, as a result of which the powerplay score recorded by RCB was the third highest in the history of the WPL, ending at 78/0 in 6 overs. She reached her fifty in just 22 balls, becoming the fourth batter and third-fastest woman to score a fifty during the powerplay in the WPL.

The assault dished out by Harris did not end there as she single-handedly dismantled the bowling unit of the UP Warriorz, chasing the target easily. She was eventually removed after scoring 85 runs off 40 balls. In the end, Smriti Mandhana and her side achieved a comfortable 9-wicket victory, chasing the target in just 47 balls remaining.
