First Innings
Victoria started their celebrations of a fifth Sheffield Shield title by bowling out South Australia midway through the final session on day one. DE Pritchard and JWE Schultz just let loose when their partnership began with the team on 93-7, but once the ninth man skied one looking for six, it was business as usual.

SA 177
DE Pritchard 48; EA Loveridge 43
MA Schade 4-34; AEV Hartkopf 3-29

Victoria surpassed their opponents tally with only wicket lost but were unable to put a true stranglehold on the match, thanks in most part to FL Morton ripping through the middle of the lineup in short order.The opening partnership of 138 was Victoria's highlight, but they could only follow that up with a high score of 46 from VS Ransford.

Second Innings
PD Rundell and DE Pritchard saved South Australia from all out embarrassment as, outside of these two, RJB Townsend led the rest with 34 runs; one of only five SA batsmen to reach double figures.

AEV Hartkopf 3-62; PH Wallace 3-68

Victoria could afford to be a little nonchalant on the degraded pitch, losing four wickets on their way to a clean sweep on the year. EA Loveridge,along with the spectacular fielder in the slips, was responsible for claiming the scalp of the half-century maker, along with two other wickets back to back.



SA 177 + 277
VIC 341 + 114-4
CB Willis 52; ER Mayne 32
EA Loveridge 3-22; FL Morton 1-35

Victoria win by six wickets.
