Overview
- Victoria chased 231 to win by four wickets on day four at Adelaide Oval against South Australia.
- Ollie Peake finished 70 not out, sharing an unbeaten 84-run stand with Fergus O'Neill, who made 33 not out and struck the winning runs.
- SA quick Jordan Buckingham took 3-43 and was denied a hat-trick when Henry Hunt dropped a sharp chance off Peake at short leg.
- This was only Peake’s second Sheffield Shield match and fifth first-class game after Australia A appearances and time with the Test squad in Sri Lanka.
- Centuries from Henry Hunt and Jake Lehmann and a substantial Peter Handscomb first-innings effort were not enough to stop the defending champions from slipping to an opening-round defeat.
