The home state has won its four T20 matches, with the sole Riverina player Jodie Hicks hitting an unbeaten 35 in Thursday's 10-wicket win over Papua New Guinea.
Hicks is a freakish talent, having combined stints with the Sydney Sixers and GWS Giants in AFLW.
"Everyone has contributed across our squad of 14, from a coaching perspective, you couldn't be more pleased," assistant coach Michael Minns revealed.
"Mel Norup, who didn't actually bowl today (Thursday), she's bowled 10 overs and taken 4-24, including a hat-trick against Queensland, which was very exciting, Ali McGrath has led out attack and our spinners have chimed in, particularly Jaclyn Vickery bowling leg-spin has been awesome."
The carnival also includes ACT.
