A week after losing twice to Darren Simmonds' tight-knit team, the southern powerhouse welcomed Australian internationals Naomi Stalenberg and Molly Strano into their line-up and turned the tables with a comfortable eight-wicket victory.

The Raiders openers had made a sound start before a run-out totally changed the momentum and course of the contest.

Emma Manix-Geeves set off for a quick single but bowler Strano reacted quicker than Sasha Moloney and the captain was on her way for six.

This sparked a mini-collapse of 4-13 in which Amy Duggan suffered a golden duck and suddenly 0-16 had become 4-29.

Meg Radford (13) temporarily stopped the rot and offered Manix-Geeves some welcome company but the pair would be the only Raiders batters to break double figures.

Manix-Geeves continued her excellent form since returning from injury, top scoring for the fifth game running, adding 42 to her recent scores of 29, 87*, 81*, 55 and 67* and only dismissed in the penultimate over when attempting back-to-back sixes off the WBBL's all-time leading wicket-taker Strano.

With three big not-outs among her recent contributions, the Riverside 21-year-old enjoyed a competition average of 166.00, but it was little compensation as the Raiders had to settle for 9-88.

Strano finished on 2-18 plus the run-out while Ella Marsh returned the best figures of 3-11 off four overs.

North Hobart nailed the chase with exactly half the deliveries remaining.

Openers Stefanie Daffara (34) and Stalenberg (40) saw off the normally destructive Raiders opening bowlers Sophie Parkin and Hannah Magor to put on 68 for the first wicket before being clean bowled by Caitlyn Webster (1-12) and Charlotte Layton (1-20) respectively.

Strano and Hannah Short completed the job to secure the win off 10 overs.

The result was tough on the Raiders who had gone through the T20 roster campaign undefeated, recording eight wins from 12 games including two against North Hobart last Sunday to confirm top spot on the ladder.

Despite playing half as many games as many of her rivals, Manix-Geeves led the competition run-scoring with 332 - nearly a hundred ahead of Daffara in second place on 238 - and also claimed the highest score of 87 not out.

Queensland teenager Ruth Johnston only played four games before reverting to Hobart Hurricanes commitments but still finished as the comp's fourth-highest run-scorer with 134. Duggan (127), Moloney (114) and Montana Bradley (107) also made the top-10.

Layton finished joint top of the wicket-takers with 11 at 9.36 as Parkin and Magor tied for fifth with eight each.

The team will now turn their thoughts to one-day matches beginning with a clash against New Town at UTAS Stadium next Sunday.
