South Australia 273 for 8 (Lehmann 85, Crone 4-61) beat Victoria 194 (Harper 59, McAndrew 5-23, H Manenti 3-32) by 79 runs
A super spell from South Australia quick Nathan McAndrew 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 and Campbell Kellaway cheaply.
After steering Victoria to victory in a dramatic Sheffield Shield finish two days earlier, teenage sensation Oliver Peake also fell to McAndrew When Peake departed, the visitors had crashed to 61 for 4.
Wicketkeeper Sam Harper saved some face for Victoria, crafting a team-high 59 from 68 balls. Harper had more than solid support from Blake Macdonald.
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. They 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 finals.
Earlier, Jake Lehmann's superb run of form continued with an outstanding 85 to anchor SA's 273 for 8.
Fringe Australia white-ball batter Jake Fraser-McGurk showed some promising signs at the top of the order after a difficult 12 months. He smashed 34 from 29 balls, while Harry Manenti made 34 off 46 deliveries.
Xavier Crone was the pick of the Victorian bowlers with 4 for 61 which included bowling Fraser-McGurk with a beauty and having Jason Sangha taken at second slip with consecutive deliveries.
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 for 68 from his eight overs.
Victoria are next in 50-over action on October 20 when they host New South Wales at the Junction Oval in Melbourne, while SA face Queensland on the same day at Karen Rolton Oval.
