Sydney Thunder ended their inaugural season in their new home with defeat as Adelaide Strikers took the spoils at Cricket Central.
Laura Woldaart’s unbeaten 70 lifted the visitors to 7/121, with only two other batters reaching double figures.
Tahlia Wilson (33) and Sammy-Jo Johnson (26*) combined for a 47-run partnership from just 24 deliveries, but ultimately the Thunder fell just short on 7/118, losing by three runs.
The result lifts the Strikers to the top of the WBBL|09 ladder, with the Thunder two points behind them with two games to play.
