WPL 2026: Harris Hails 'opposites Attract' Opening Partnership With Mandhana Ahead Of Title Clash
Royal Challengers Bengaluru: Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s big-hitting all-rounder Grace Harris said her contrasting personality with skipper Smriti Mandhana has been key to their successful opening partnership as the team prepares for the 2026 Women’s Premier League (WPL) final, set to happen at BCA Stadium in Vadodara on Thursday.
The Australian power-hitter was handed the role of opening the batting alongside Smriti by head coach Malolan Rangarajan in a practice session ahead of the tournament. Rangarajan’s words for Grace while being handed the opening slot was that she should go for the cheese and not the cat, which translates to take the extra risk, and not be afraid of getting out.
Grace has amassed 228 runs in eight innings at a strike-rate of 180.95 has formed a formidable opening combination with Smriti, who’s the third leading run-getter in WPL 2026 with 290 runs at a strike-rate of 141.46. “She's been fantastic. She's such a quiet-natured kind of person, probably the opposite of myself come game day. Sometimes opposites work and sometimes they go horrifically bad.
