I don't follow the shield cricket all that much.
Is it a points scenario in the final, or is it like the old days where the Vics need to win outright otherwise WA claim the title.
Bonus points only come into it if it's a draw - not like the old days where the home team only has to draw to win the title. It's the team with the most bonus points after their respective 1st innings only.
Batting side earns 0.1 point for every run they score over 200 within the first 100 overs they bat. Bowling side earns 0.1 bonus point for every wicket they take within the first 100 overs they bowl to the opposition.
Therefore, Victoria are on 0 at the moment as they have only batted 90 overs and are still under 200. Looking likely that they won't get any as they may not bat beyond 100 overs. WA in the box seat at the moment but Vic can get back into it if they can hang on with the bat for another 10 overs and score some runs beyond 200, and then bowl WA out under 200 in their 1st innings.
Should be much more clearer after WA have batted their 1st innings, although I think that if both sides are on 1 bonus point (i.e. both sides bowled out under 200 within 100 overs in their 1st innings), then I think it's the home side that is awarded the shield if a drawn game?
