Western Australia had a thrilling Sheffield Shield victory by defeating South Australia by two wickets in Perth on day three. Western Australia overcame a second straight defeat, coming back from a horror trip to Sydney. It was a heartbreak for South Australia, who had won their last match against Queensland in a similar tense finish. The match was a low-scoring contest with just three half-centuries struck. The turning point of the match came when Brendon Doggett bowled a brutal delivery that hit Teague Wyllie’s elbow and also dismissed key wickets. Charlie Stobo, batting in the top four for his local grade club, hit a breezy 26 which helped in swinging the momentum in favor of Western Australia. In the end, it was Corey Rocchiccioli’s winning boundary that led to a thrilling win for Western Australia, taking them to the top spot on the ladder.
