“Not just a performance—this was a message to the rest of the league.”
Grace Harris made an unforgettable impact as she led London Spirit to a strong victory in the first match of The Hundred 2025.
Chasing a competitive total, Harris got going from the very first ball. Her explosive batting lit up the stadium, as she smashed boundaries with confidence and put pressure on the opposition bowlers. Her fearless approach gave Spirit the early momentum and made the run chase look easy.
Earlier in the match, London Spirit’s bowlers did their part by keeping things tight. They stuck to their plans, took key wickets, and held the opposition to a manageable score. The pitch offered some bounce under the lights, but the bowlers stayed in control throughout.
Still, it was Harris who stole the spotlight. Her clean hitting, sharp focus, and calm under pressure showed her class. It wasn’t just a strong performance—it felt like a statement for the rest of the tournament.
“We wanted to start strong, and I’m glad I could deliver,” Harris said after winning Player of the Match. “The crowd was amazing, and the team energy is really high right now.”
With this win, London Spirit begins their 2025 campaign on a high. If Harris keeps playing like this, Spirit could be one of the teams to watch this season.
