A super spell from South Australia quick Nathan McAndrew has inspired the reigning one-day champions to a 79-run bonus-point win against Victoria.
Set a target of 274 at Adelaide Oval on Thursday, Victoria were in trouble straight away as McAndrew dismissed openers Matt Short (12) and Campbell Kellaway (7) cheaply.
After steering Victoria to victory in a dramatic Sheffield Shield finish two days earlier, teenage sensation Oliver Peake (13) also fell to McAndrew (5-23 from 8.1 overs).
When Peake departed, the visitors had crashed to 4-61.
Wicketkeeper Sam Harper saved some face for the Vics, crafting a team-high 59 from 68 balls.
Harper had more than solid support from Blake Macdonald (30).
But SA did all the early work and Victoria couldn't recover, with McAndrew taking the final scalp for a five-wicket haul as Victoria were out for 194 in the 45th over.
SA defeated their state rivals again after claiming bragging rights in last season's Dean Jones Trophy final.
SA endured a difficult start to their title defence, losing the first two one-day games to slump to 0-2.
Victoria also entered the match winless from two starts, meaning they have dropped to 0-3 and requiring a power of work to be in contention for back-to-back
Earlier, Jake Lehmann's superb run of form continued with an outstanding 85 to anchor South Australia's 8-273.
Fringe Australia white-ball blaster Jake Fraser-McGurk showed some promising signs at the top of the order after a difficult 12 months.
Fraser-McGurk smashed 34 from 29 balls, while Harry Manenti made 34 off 46 deliveries.
Xavier Crone was the pick of the Victorian bowlers with 4-61.
SA took a liking to the under-strength Victorian bowling line-up missing captain Will Sutherland and Fergus O'Neill.
Opening bowler Cameron McClure went for 1-68 from his eight overs.
Victoria are next in 50-over action on October 20 when they host NSW at the Junction Oval in Melbourne, while SA face Queensland on the same day at Karen Rolton Oval.
