massive reminder of her big-hitting talent, with a WBBL individual record score of 136 not out and an amazing highlight against Perth Scorchers at North Sydney\u00a0Oval.<\/p>\n<p>Harris produced what will surely be one of the highlights of the season, swiping a six over long on despite the handle of her bat snapping off after she made contact.<\/p>\n<p>The very next ball Harris repeated the shot with her new bat, which remained intact as the ball again flew over the rope.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It was actually a bit loose at the beginning of the game and that&#8217;s when they are at their best,&#8217; Harris told Fox Sports about her broken bat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I just thought it will be fine, it will come through and then I heard it click in this one particular shot just before that six.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/22\/09\/76855673-12658709-image-a-16_1697962606695.jpg\" height=\"423\"

a maximum on Sunday<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Then I thought &#8216;no it hasn&#8217;t fully cracked&#8217;, I think it&#8217;s just loosened up even more I&#8217;ll still hit it for six, I&#8217;m on anyway.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;So you&#8217;ve got to keep going and that&#8217;s a great bat, so in the end it broke and it still went for six.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Omitted from the national team for the recent T20 and ODI series against West Indies, Harris followed up an innings of 49 off 26 balls in Brisbane&#8217;s season opener with her third and highest WBBL century.<\/p>\n<p>In her memorable 59-ball knock, Harris hit a WBBL individual innings record of 11 sixes, scoring at a strike-rate of 230 as the Heat racked up 7-229.<\/p>\n<p>Perth were well placed at 1-99 after nine overs, but pacer Courtney Sippel (4-27 off four overs) scuppered the Scorchers hopes by taking thee wickets in four balls in the tenth, and they finished at 8-179.<\/p>\n<p>The 27-year-old added 92 for the third wicket with Mignon du Preez (39 off 23 balls), with the South African pounding several legside fours.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"

Perth in North Sydney<\/p>\n<p>Sippel&#8217;s victims included Brisbane&#8217;s most dangerous batters Beth Mooney (60 off 30) and Sophie Devine (14 off 14).<\/p>\n<p>Heat pacer Nicola Hancock was forced out of the attack after bowling successive head-high beamers in the seventh over.<\/p>\n<p>Sippel&#8217;s well-executed variations and changes of pace outfoxed the Scorchers batters, with England&#8217;s Amy Jones (30 off 17) providing the only resistance in the second half of Perth&#8217;s innings.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a
