SYDNEY (Reuters) -South Australia claimed their first Sheffield Shield title in 29 years after hundreds by Jason Sangha and Alex Carey helped them pull off a record chase in the final against Queensland on Saturday.

Sangha smashed an unbeaten 126 and forged a 202-run stand with Australia test wicketkeeper Carey (105) to secure their four-wicket victory on a flat Karen Rolton Oval pitch.
