Sampson finished with 2/34 off 10 after picking up Goswami caught at long by Kirsten Pike. Perry took 2/37 off 10 while Delissa Kimmince and Pike took a wicket each.
The Southern Stars made light work of the chase after a steady start – Alex Blackwell (75 off 101) and Lisa Sthalekar (73* off 69) added 116 for the 2nd wicket off 29.3 overs after Leah Poulton (17 off 39) fell in the 14th over when the score was on 41.
