Looking at the current form, Harris is coming into this match on the back of a match-winning hattrick. Having said that, her numbers at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium speaks for herself as she had a fantastic performance batting in Bengaluru last year, scoring 158 runs in 5 outings at a strike-rate of 164.6.
