Overview
- The Sheffield Shield final was finely balanced on Sunday after Victoria closed at five down and 94 runs short of a 196 target.
- Alex Carey hit 103 in South Australia's third innings, lifting the total to 258 and flipping the match after early trouble.
- Nathan McAndrew added a vital 60 with Carey and later struck twice with the ball to leave Victoria 35 for 3 in the chase.
- Scott Boland threatened to end SA's hopes with a double strike that left them 122 for 7 and even created a hat-trick chance.
- Earlier rain disrupted play at Junction Oval, but conditions cleared, and under Shield rules a draw hands the trophy to Victoria.
