SA, on the other hand, will organize the final of the shield in Karen Rolton Oval after the AFL refused to allow the decisive to look between the AFL games in Adelaide Oval.
The SA Cricket Association and Prime Minister Peter Malinauskas wanted the final of the Oval Adelaide shield from March 24 to 28.
But with the AFL matches scheduled on March 22 and 30, the AFL cited health and safety concerns by rejecting Cricket.

“We will continue working in collaboration at all levels to guarantee Cricket profits and provides adequate access to shared places throughout the country.”
