Surrey takes Women's T20 Blast as Grace Harris's 63 helps win title over Bears and sister Laura
The Australian pair both produced big-hitting knocks for their respective teams, but it was Grace's unbeaten 63 off 33 balls that helped Surrey become the inaugural women's champions, as they chased down a target of 154 in the 17th over.
Grace Harris was the dominant performer in the final, with a brilliant innings that was 32 runs more than anyone else in the match.
The Queenslander came out to bat in the seventh over, with her team behind the run-rate at 3-42.
But the right-hander proceeded to flay the attack to all parts of the ground, changing the momentum of the game.
She hit seven fours and two big sixes as none of the bowlers could slow her down.

Harris saw her team home with help from Sophia Dunkley (23 off 13) and Kira Chathli (16 off 9) — the latter scoring the winning runs with a clip off her legs for four.
Earlier, the Warwickshire Bears had got off to a rough start, losing both openers with the first two overs.
When Laura Harris came to the crease in the 11th over, the Bears had recovered to be 5-83 before immediately losing Amu Surenkumar to make it 6-83.
But Harris produced a brilliant cameo of 25 off 11 balls, including three four and two sixes.
She was caught off the bowling of Danielle Gregory at the start of the 15th over, by which time Warwickshire were 8-115. They finished the innings with 9-153 off their full 20 overs.
"I was a bit nervous … you want her [Laura] to do well but you still want to win," Grace Harris told cricket.com.au after the match.
"I'm happy she got out when she did, I was a bit nervous — it could have been a 180 chase if she hung on there and she had a few damaging innings from that position earlier in the comp.
"It's fantastic that we made sure we stayed with that run chase regardless of wickets lost [and] our bowlers did really well to set up that game."

Mitchell Owen earns ODI, T20 call-up as Fraser-McGurk axed from Aussie squad
Mitchell Owen has officially usurped Jake Fraser-McGurk as Australia's new batting hit-man. Selectors have unveiled their ODI and T20 squads for the upcoming series against South Africa in the Top End, with Tasmanian rising star Owen seemingly being earmarked as Glenn Maxwell's white-ball successor. Fraser-McGurk had been anointed as the new six-hitting sensation in Australian cricket, but he has been axed again after just one showing on the recent T20 tour of the West Indies where he made 2 opening the batting. In contrast, 23-year-old Owen grabbed his opportunity in the West Indies by the horns, delivering in three out of his four innings in the middle-order, including a 50 on debut. Owen has now been fast-tracked into the ODI team as well, filling the void left by Maxwell's recent 50-over retirement. The emergence of Owen over the past 12 months is crucial for an Australian team transitioning from a golden era ahead of next year's T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup in 2027. Jake Fraser-McGurk has been dropped from Australia's T20 squad. Mitchell Owen starred during Australia's T20s against the West Indies. 'As we build towards the T20 World Cup the flexibility and depth shown in the West Indies, outside of the obvious results, has been a huge positive. 'The flexibility within the batting order and ability of bowlers to bowl in different stages of the innings were particularly pleasing to see. 'Mitch Owen and Matt Kuhnemann making their respective debuts and the preparation and work done by Nathan Ellis to allow him to play all five matches were highlights.' Fraser-McGurk isn't the only much-hyped star to have faded, with West Australian all-rounder Cooper Connolly now dropped from all three formats. Connelly opened for Australia in their last ODI but now finds himself dropped from the squad, while he has also been squeezed out of the T20 set-up as well. Marnus Labuschagne has a chance to start his push for a Test recall in the ODI matches against the country of his birth, South Africa in the Top End starting next month. Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins have been put on ice in preparation for the Ashes, but Josh Hazlewood will still toil away in both white ball formats against the Proteas. All-rounder Cameron Green will also play both the ODIs and T20s ahead of the Ashes after striking hot form in the West Indies. In Cummins' absence, Mitchell Marsh will captain the ODI team as well as the T20 side. Given Australia's Test batting struggles, Marsh is also not without hope of a Test recall against England if he can fire from all cylinders in the limited overs matches. Australia has given a good insight into its thinking ahead of next year's T20 World Cup, with stars like Hazlewood, Travis Head, Maxwell and Josh Inglis all in the line-up to take on South Africa. As well as losing Maxwell to retirement, this will be Australia's first ODI series without all-time great Steve Smith – who also hung up the gloves in the 50-over format. Labuschagne will be relied upon to fill his role as top order anchor.

India coach ‘loses his head' in furious blow-up at English curator
India head coach Gautam Gambhir has become involved in a heated exchange with Surrey's head of ground staff Lee Fortis, who asked him to keep a distance from the wicket while inspecting the pitch at The Oval. Visitors India are set to play their last Test of the five-match series against England from Thursday at Surrey County Cricket Club's stadium, with the hosts leading 2-1. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: India coach 'loses his head' in furious blow-up at English curator. Gambhir, a 58-Test veteran, was caught on camera wagging his finger as Fortis towered over him, repeatedly stating 'you can't tell us what to do' and 'you don't tell any of us what to do'. Gambhir can also be heard adding: 'You're just the groundsman, nothing beyond.' Fortis is understood to have been keeping a protective eye on the square during India's practice with plenty of cricket still to be played on it once the international summer is over. Gambhir did not take kindly to his intervention. After walking away in conversation with India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak, who appeared to take on the role of mediator, Fortis told Gambhir he may be forced to lodge a complaint against him, drawing a response of: 'You can go and report to whoever you want.' The footage went viral, with the Barmy Army saying Gambhir had 'well and truly lost his head'. But the Indian response went the other way as fans dug up a 2023 photo of Fortis and England coach Brendon McCullum standing on the pitch two days prior to a Test match. Former Indian Test player Aakash Chopra described the situation as 'double standards'. Speaking later to the press, India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak told reporters Fortis' objections to a coolbox being wheeled on to the square kicked off the spat. 'He was sitting on the roller, he shouted and told the support staff not to take it there,' he said. 'It is good to be a little possessive and it is also good to be protective, but not that much. Gautam just said do not talk to the support staff like this. 'It's a cricket wicket, there's a five-day Test starting the day after, and we were wearing joggers. So it was a bit awkward. 'We all know that curators are a little over-protective ... but at the end of the day it's a cricket pitch, not an antique that you can't touch.' Fortis downplayed the incident when he spoke to a group of journalists. 'There's nothing more to add ... we have nothing to hide here,' he said. Surrey did not immediately respond to an email requesting comment. Kotak said the India players and staff had taken care not to cause any damage to the playing surface during their practice session earlier on Tuesday. Heated verbal exchanges in the last two Tests have added to the tension between the teams in a competitive series. England did not train, preferring to let their players rest with three days between the Tests.
