The 2019 Sheffield Shield final will feature minor premiers the Victorian Bushrangers, and the New South Wales Blues. The match is scheduled to start on Thursday, March 28 at 10:30am (AEDT).
The final, played over five days, will this year be held at the redeveloped Junction Oval in St Kilda. This is due to the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the usual home of Victoria, now being handed over to AFL for the winter.
The Shield final is the biggest match on the Australian domestic calendar, and as such, lasts for five days, instead of four like the rest of the season.
This means that, should the match last the distance, it will end on Monday, April 1.
The Bushrangers claimed the minor premiership this season fairly comfortably, while the Blues required a victory in the final round to get into the top two.
Rules have also been amended this year, ensuring there will be no premier by way of a draw, unless rain has a significant impact on the match.
