In an extraordinary display of power hitting, Australia all-rounder Grace Harris made cricket history in the ongoing Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL). She scored an astonishing 136 not out off just 59 balls, setting a new individual record in WBBL history, surpassing the previous best of 114 held by Ashleigh Gardner and Smriti Mandhana. While her record-breaking innings left spectators in awe, it was a particular moment that stole the show. Grace Harris managed to hit a maximum, a six, with a broken bat. In a display of sheer determination and skill, she declared, I need a new bat… nah, stuff it. I’ll hit it anyway, just moments before sending the ball soaring over the boundary. Grace’s sensational knock propelled the Brisbane Heat to a total of 229/7. In pursuit of the target, the Perth Scorchers managed to score 179/8, falling short by 50 runs. This extraordinary performance by Grace Harris will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the most remarkable moments in cricket history.
