WATCH: Grace Harris Hits Stunning Six In WBBL 2023 While Using Broken Bat

With a broken bat, Harris went on to hit one of her 11 sixes over long-on against Perth Scorchers' Piepa Cleary, creating a moment of pure excitement in the stadium.

In the Women's Big Bash League 2023, Australian batter Grace Harris produced a truly remarkable spectacle by smashing a six with a broken bat. Harris delivered an astonishing performance, playing an innings of 136 runs, setting a new record for an individual in the history of WBBL. She set the North Sydney Oval on fire with some sublime batting displays, but the one that captured everyone's attention was the six she hit using a broken bat. Remarkably, Harris was already aware that her bat was broken, but she was determined to hit a maximum before considering a replacement.

One of her teammates was overheard asking, "Do you need it now, Grace?" To which Harris replied, "Nah, stuff it, I'll still hit it."

Reflecting on her remarkable innings after the match, Harris expressed her enjoyment of batting at the North Sydney wicket.

"North Sydney is always a great batting wicket." Harris said. "believe it's a very good ground for batters and a great size for myself so when I come here I just back myself in.

"Minnie (du Preez) took the game on and was great support; she was picking up boundaries at the same time so I just said 'just keep going the way we're going and see what happens'. I knew we needed at least 180 on the wicket because it's a very flat deck."

The Brisbane Heat managed to put up a total of 229 runs for the loss of seven wickets in their 20 overs. In response, Perth could only muster 179 runs.

Brisbane Heat Women currently stand at the top of the table in the tournament and are slated to play next against Sydney Sixers Women in the 9th match of the tournament on Tuesday, October 24 in Sydney.
