    Surrey takes Women's T20 Blast as Grace Harris's 63 helps win title over Bears and sister Laura

    It's sister vs sister in the Women's T20 Blast final at The Oval, with Grace Harris's unbeaten 63 clinching the win for Surrey over Warwickshire and Harris's sister Laura.


    Grace Harris has won a battle of the siblings, as her Surrey side beat the Warwickshire team of her sister, Laura, in the final of the Women's T20 Blast competition in England.

    The Australian pair both produced big-hitting knocks for their respective teams, but it was Grace's unbeaten 63 off 33 balls that helped Surrey become the inaugural women's champions, as they chased down a target of 154 in the 17th over.

    Grace Harris was the dominant performer in the final, with a brilliant innings that was 32 runs more than anyone else in the match.

    The Queenslander came out to bat in the seventh over, with her team behind the run-rate at 3-42.

    But the right-hander proceeded to flay the attack to all parts of the ground, changing the momentum of the game.

    She hit seven fours and two big sixes as none of the bowlers could slow her down.

    Harris saw her team home with help from Sophia Dunkley (23 off 13) and Kira Chathli (16 off 9) — the latter scoring the winning runs with a clip off her legs for four.

    Earlier, the Warwickshire Bears had got off to a rough start, losing both openers with the first two overs.

    When Laura Harris came to the crease in the 11th over, the Bears had recovered to be 5-83 before immediately losing Amu Surenkumar to make it 6-83.

    But Harris produced a brilliant cameo of 25 off 11 balls, including three four and two sixes.

    She was caught off the bowling of Danielle Gregory at the start of the 15th over, by which time Warwickshire were 8-115. They finished the innings with 9-153 off their full 20 overs.

    "I was a bit nervous … you want her [Laura] to do well but you still want to win," Grace Harris told cricket.com.au after the match.

    "I'm happy she got out when she did, I was a bit nervous — it could have been a 180 chase if she hung on there and she had a few damaging innings from that position earlier in the comp.

    "It's fantastic that we made sure we stayed with that run chase regardless of wickets lost [and] our bowlers did really well to set up that game."
