Grace Harris had tweeted #maybeplayifimlucky after the WPL teams were announced. And she lit the tournament up with a sensational innings in her first match for UP Warriorz.
The Australian all-rounder, with England’s Sophie Ecclestone at her side, was able to turn the situation around with an unbroken 70-run stand off just 25 balls and finish the thrilling chase off the penultimate delivery.
