South Australia Takes Control as Queensland Fights Back in Sheffield Shield Final
The Sheffield Shield final between South Australia and Queensland is heating up, with both teams battling hard for supremacy. South Australia, led by an incredible century from Jake Lehmann, has firmly taken the upper hand, pushing their lead beyond 150 runs. Queensland, on the other hand, is desperately trying to claw its way back into the contest, and one of the biggest talking points of the match so far has been the fiery spell from young quick Callum Vidler.

Vidler, just 19 years old and playing in only his third first-class match, has been a revelation. The speedster, who has been clocking speeds in the high 140s and even touching 151kph, played a crucial role in keeping Queensland in the hunt. His 4-33 off 12 overs on day one gave the Bulls a fighting chance after their batting lineup collapsed for just 95 runs in the first innings. Queensland skipper Marnus Labuschagne rallied his bowlers, and Vidler answered the call in style, making a serious impact with his raw pace and aggression.
But the story of the match so far has been Lehmann. The South Australian batter notched up his third consecutive Sheffield Shield century at a crucial moment, helping his side extend their lead and put Queensland under immense pressure. With every run, South Australia moves closer to ending their long Sheffield Shield drought, while Queensland faces an uphill battle to make a comeback.
Adding to the drama, SA’s Brendan Doggett, a former Queensland player, dismantled his old team with a sensational 6-31, ripping through the Bulls' batting lineup. His performance put South Australia in the driver's seat early, setting the tone for what has been a gripping contest.
With day two underway, all eyes are on Queensland’s response. Can their batters rise to the challenge and turn the tide, or will South Australia continue to dominate and push towards victory? One thing’s for sure—this final is far from over, and cricket fans are in for an exciting battle ahead.
