Victoria's seamers Peter Siddle and Jayde Herrick helped seal a 185-run win over South Australia at the MCG, sharing seven wickets. Opener Daniel Harris fought hard with 96 but was short of support from the other end as South Australia faltered in their chase of 380. They had been reduced to 22 for 2 at stumps on the third day and Siddle didn't take too long to effect a breakthrough on the fourth, bowling Cameron Borgas for 10. Aiden Blizzard and Harris tried to revive the innings with a 67-run stand but the bowlers kept the pressure on with timely wickets. There was still hope at 148 for 4 for South Australia but persistent strikes, with bowlers Jon Holland and Steve Gilmour chipping in, shot them out for 194 - the last six wickets falling for 48.
Victoria are now third on the points table with three wins and three losses.
