London, Aug. 6 -- Grace Harris hit a stunning unbeaten 89 from 42 balls as London Spirit began their title defence with a boundary-laden 17-run win over Oval Invincibles in The Hundred.
The Australian put on 100 with Cordelia Griffith, who made 50 from 29 balls, as Spirit posted 176-5 - their highest total in the women's competition - at Lord's on Tuesday.
Facing a daunting chase, Invincibles lost captain Lauren Winfield-Hill second ball but regrouped with former Australia skipper Meg Lanning leading the charge.
Despite a 77-run third-wicket stand with Marizanne Kapp and Lanning's stunning 85 from 51 balls giving them a glimmer of hope, Invincibles came up just short on 159-4.
The 15 sixes in the match were a record for the women's tour...
