Friday's 234-run loss to New South Wales Metro at Queenborough Oval leaves the Tigers sitting fourth out of five in pool B and followed their first win - an exciting four-wicket T20 victory over Northern Territory on Thursday.
Bowling first, the Tigers were hit around by Metro opener Angelina Genford, who whacked a match-high 97 off 99 balls before being bowled by Hannah Magor (2-28 off six).

Kate Peterson (49) also fell agonisingly short of raising her bat as the visitors posted a daunting 286 all out from 50 overs.
Maddison Brooks (3-38), Magor, Chloe Abel (2-34) and Grace Pullen (2-50) all took multiple wickets for Tasmania.
Peterson followed up her good batting effort to rip through the top order, collecting 3-4 off five overs to reduce Tasmania to 8-22.
It took New Town's Cassie McLoughlin (12*) and Pullen (9) to offer some resistance and get the Tigers to 52 all out in the 24th over.
The Tigers' next game is a clash with Victoria Country at St Patrick's College at 10am on Sunday.
