Harris in WBBL 2026 Season Fantasy

Harris is the highest-priced Heat player at 9 Cr and is listed as a batter. The Heat start with a home game against Sydney Sixers at Allan Border Field on 30 October. Brisbane have had a rough year, but their squad now sits at 13 players, with two spots still open.

💡

Big hitters score in bursts. Harris can make 60 in a few overs or go for nought, so she suits a squad that already has a reliable base from players like Mooney or Wolvaardt.
