Mali Vanderstoep was the pick of the bowlers for South Perth, claiming 2 wickets for 50 runs, while Ray finished with figures of 0 for 19 from her 4 overs.
In reply, South Perth struggled to build momentum and were restricted to 97/7 in their 20 overs. Captain Loren Russo top-scored with a defiant 31 not out, while Ray contributed 7 runs, including one boundary. Maddie White was the standout bowler for Melville, taking 2 for 17 from her 4 overs.
The defeat leaves South Perth searching for consistency in the T20 competition. Despite the loss, Ray and her teammates will be looking to learn from the experience and bounce back in their upcoming matches.
