The 16-run loss to start the Tigers campaign also marked the debut of Riverside keeper Emma Manix-Geeves.
The 19-year-old took the one stumping to end the West Australian innings at 194 before the No.8 struggled for just two off 18 balls - still 39 runs short of the target.

Belinda Vakarewa led the Tigers attack with 3-27 while recruit Maisy Gibson picked up 2-33 and Launceston's Meg Phillips took 2-43.
