Australian batsman Harris put in a stunning display to make the job easier. Surrey chase the seventh place Warwickshire finished at 180-5 in the Oval.

Captain Bryony Smith got the hosts off to an excellent start in response by scoring what was the fastest half-century of the season so far when she reached 50 off 23 balls in the eighth over.

But Harris immediately broke that to equal the all-time women’s T20 record with six fours and four sixes in 15 deliveries on the way to 50.

She equaled her own previous record for fastest half-century in a women’s T20 match, equaled only by Marie Kelly in 2022 and Fatima Sana in 2026.

Smith eventually fell for 54, bowling one to Mary Taylor off Charis Pavely, but his 78-run partnership with Harris in just 29 balls had done most of the damage to leave Surrey needing another 56 runs with 11 overs to spare.

Harris continued to send the Bears’ bowling attack to all four corners before she was finally dismissed for 81 off 32 balls with Surrey just seven runs away from victory, holing out from Millie Taylor to Pavely, who took a good catch on the boundary.

Jemima Spence was dismissed for 20 after an excellent catch by Amu Surenkumar at full length diving forward, leaving Alice Monaghan to make the winning runs in the 15th over to ensure Surrey picked up a bonus point.

But the plaudits belonged to Harris, despite a valiant effort in the first innings of Warwickshire’s top order, including a 50 for Abbey Freeborn and an unbeaten 45 for Pavely.
