South Australia hosts the Sheffield Shield final, while India wins the ICC Champions Trophy against New Zealand.

South Australia has clinched the hosting rights for the Sheffield Shield final, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion to the tournament. Four teams—NSW, Western Australia, Victoria, and Queensland—are vying for the second spot in the final. Western Australia recently played to a draw against NSW at the WACA Ground, with Hilton Cartwright shining with a remarkable 171 not out. Sam Konstas contributed significantly to NSW`s efforts, scoring a half-century to help secure the draw.

Victoria faces a challenging path ahead, needing to win their last two matches against South Australia and Western Australia to keep their hopes alive. Queensland`s situation is equally precarious; they must win both of their remaining away games against Tasmania and South Australia to remain in contention for the final. Tasmania, led by top run-scorer Jake Weatherald, is also in the mix, requiring two wins to reach the final for a second consecutive season.

In international cricket, India triumphed in the ICC Champions Trophy, defeating New Zealand in a thrilling final. Rohit Sharma`s 76 and KL Rahul`s unbeaten 34 were pivotal in securing a four-wicket victory for India, showcasing their dominance on the world stage.
