New Delhi [India], March 6 (ANI): Ahead of the clash against reigning champions Mumbai Indians, UP Warriorz all-rounder Grace Harris on Wednesday said that she is looking forward to the Delhi leg of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2024 and believes her team’s best is yet to come in the tournament.

“Change in scenery, I am really looking forward to what Delhi has to offer. I did enjoy my time in Bengaluru and Chinnaswamy was fantastic. There the crowd was cheering for the RCB, and it’s probably going to be for Delhi this time. I am really looking forward to it and embracing any opportunities that I have and getting a few wins on the board,” Grace told ANI.
