South Australia Claims First Sheffield Shield Title in 29 Years

South Australia clinched their first Sheffield Shield title in 29 years, led by Jason Sangha's unbeaten 126 and Alex Carey's 105, as they successfully chased a record 270 runs against Queensland. The match, held at Karen Rolton Oval after venue restrictions, saw South Australia recover from a shaky start of 3-28, with Sangha and Carey forming a pivotal 202-run partnership. Sangha, who credited South Australia with saving his career after being dropped by New South Wales, expressed immense gratitude for the opportunity. The victory not only marked a historic achievement but also completed a double for the team, having also won the One-Day Cup. Fans celebrated wildly, storming the pitch to embrace Sangha in a memorable moment that echoed the team's last championship victory in 1996. Coach Ryan Harris emphasized the team's ambition to continue their success in future seasons.
