Grace Harris Eyes Ashes Redemption

Grace Harris is set to join the Australian squad in Sydney, aiming for redemption in the upcoming T20I leg of the multi-format Ashes series. Her recent performance, scoring a blistering 140 runs off just 78 balls for Queensland against Tasmania, has put her in the spotlight. This innings included an impressive eight sixes, showcasing her powerful batting skills. Harris was part of the 2023 Ashes squad that struggled to secure an outright win in the UK, and she is determined to help her team make amends this time around.

Australia currently leads the multi-format series 4-0, having won both ODIs convincingly. The third ODI is scheduled for January 17 at Bellerive Oval in Hobart, where the team will look to maintain their momentum. The T20I matches will follow, with games set for January 20 at the SCG, January 23 at Manuka Oval, and January 25 at Adelaide Oval.

Alana King has also made headlines, achieving her 50th ODI wicket in just 34 innings, marking the fastest milestone for an Australian woman this century. Her four-wicket haul in the second ODI was crucial in defending a low total of 180 runs. Ellyse Perry, who top-scored with 60 runs in that match, has emphasized the need for a more aggressive batting approach in the upcoming games.

The Australian squad for the ODIs and T20Is includes notable players such as Alyssa Healy (captain), Tahlia McGrath (vice-captain), and Megan Schutt, among others. The day-night Test is also on the horizon, scheduled from January 30 to February 2 at the MCG in Melbourne. Harris's recent form and the team's strong performance set the stage for an exciting continuation of the Ashes series.
