Smriti Mandhana and Grace Harris lit up DY Patil Stadium as they emerged as the WPL’s most prolific opening duo.
The pair crushed UP Warriorz with a commanding 145-run partnership, powering Royal Challengers Bengaluru to a thumping nine-wicket win.
In a video shared by the Women’s Premier League on X, Smriti first hailed Grace’s batting and said she had the best seat at the non-striker’s end to witness the heroics.
“[I had] the best seat in the box because I didn’t have to do anything. I just had to get her on strike. She just whacked everyone. It’s just easy to bat when someone gets going. But again, all the shots, it was just not sixes; it was like long sixes,” the RCB skipper said of Harris.
Smriti was also in awe of the muscle power that Harris possesses.
“Grace, you don’t have to swing it at 180 per cent; you only have to swing it at 90 per cent. With those muscles, you just have to hit the ball,” Smriti revealed.
