When Grace Harris gets going, there is no stopping her, regardless of opponents or venues. The Australian was in full flow during RCB's dominant win against UPW in Navi Mumbai on Sunday (January 12). Chasing a paltry target of 144, Harris' assault in the powerplay virtually sealed the deal in favour of the Smriti Mandhana's side.
The RCB skipper played second fiddle, although she went a brisk pace herself but Harris' onslaught was of another level. No UPW bowler was spared as it rained boundaries and sixes at the DY Patil Stadium. By the time Harris fell after a blistering 40-ball 85, RCB were only a hit away from victory. The chase was done in just 12.1 overs, which means an unreal boost to the net run rate as well.
Here are the list of major milestones achieved by Harris and RCB during this fixture.
- RCB got to 100 in just 7.5 overs, which is the second fastest ever in WPL history
- Grace Harris hit Deandra Dottin for 32 runs in an over - the joint-most expensive over in WPL history
- Grace Harris became only the fourth player in WPL history to smash a fifty inside the powerplay
- RCB's total of 78/0 is the third-best powerplay score in WPL history
- Shreyanka Patil conceded 50 off their four overs - the joint-most expensive WPL spell by a spinner
- Deepti Sharma's partnership of 93* with Deandra Dottin is the second-best for sixth wicket or lower and all four of the best such partnerships involve Deepti
