After the match, the two shared a light-hearted moment and spoke about how their contrasting personalities have come together to form a formidable opening partnership.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In a video shared by the Women\u2019s Premier League on X, Smriti first hailed Grace\u2019s batting and said she had the best seat at the non-striker\u2019s end to witness the heroics. The Indian opener also termed Harris an extrovert while calling herself an introvert.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The best seat in the box, I would say, because I didn't have to do anything. I just had to get her on strike. And not only that one over, but she also just whacked everyone. It's just easy to bat when someone gets going. But again, I mean all the shots, it was just not sixes; it was like long sixes,\" the RCB skipper said of Harris.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Australian opener, in turn, praised Smriti\u2019s technique and felt that her captain could hit the ball anywhere effortlessly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Well, it's very easy when you bat with Smriti because she's so calm and classy. I paid her to say that. When you're batting with Smriti, she's so elegant and free-flowing and technically correct that you don't feel like you have to overhit the ball. You watch her bat, and you're like, oh yeah, she can hit it there.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Smriti was also in awe of the muscle power that Harris possesses and revealed that her opening partner loves to do commentary while batting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\"And I just have to watch from the other end. At DY Patil, if you tell me that we win the toss and we're going to restrict them to 150 odd, I mean, we'll take that any day. Going to chase 150 at this ground with the outfield it has, I just feel we're 15 to 20 runs ahead in the field. We have amazing fielding. Today's win is just about how good our execution was around the bowling,\" she added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
