Cricket Australia has rejigged its Sheffield Shield schedule, shifting next week's Victoria-NSW match from Melbourne to Sydney.
The sides, who are squaring off this week at the SCG, were slated to clash at the MCG on February 25-28.
But border uncertainty, sparked by Melbourne's recent lockdown, means that Victoria will remain in Sydney.
The fixture will now be played at Bankstown Oval in Sydney's west.
NSW are also due to travel to Adelaide for their third Shield match after the Big Bash League hiatus.
However, South Australia is currently blocking anybody who has been to Melbourne from entering its state.
As such, CA could not confidently bank on the Blues' squad being able to enter SA and play at Adelaide Oval.
Victoria's star-studded women's squad, headed by national captain Meg Lanning, has also been forced to play in Sydney because of border closures.
Victoria will face ACT on Sunday then South Australia on Tuesday, with both one-day games being staged in Blacktown.
Victoria batter Elyse Villani, who last week scored 135 not out and 80 in a pair of one-dayers against NSW, has been forced to self-isolate because she was at Melbourne Airport Terminal Four on February 9.
