South Australia have missed the chance to defend their one-day cricket crown, losing to NSW by 18 runs on Sunday in game they had to win to make the final against Victoria.
A blazing century from former Test wicketkeeper Brad Haddin helped the Blues post a competitive 8-266 before the visitors rolled the Redbacks for just 248 in the 48th over at Adelaide Oval.

South Australia 1st Innings
| J. Mennie | 11 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 91.67 |
| J. Haberfield | 4 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 40 |
| G. Sandhu | 11 | 0 | 55 | 3 | 5.00 |
Haddin said with three wins from their last three games some of his younger teammates were coming to grips with one-day cricket.
"I think our guys over the last couple of weeks are starting to understand one-day cricket and are starting to learn,'' he said.
"That was just reward for all the work they've put in."
Redbacks keeper Tim Ludeman said the loss was pretty hard to take given the side's excellent start to the competition.
"Unfortunately we fell away, but we showed some great signs," he said.
SA had only needed to win one of their last three games to be assured of playing in the final, but went down twice to the Blues and once to Victoria to slip out of contention.
The home side began the run chase in solid style but a middle order collapse and then three late wickets to medium pacer Gurinder Sandhu sealed the deal for the Blues.
The Redbacks lost 4-13 in the middle part of their run chase before skipper Johan Botha (53 from 56 balls) and Travis Head steadied the ship with a 39-run stand.
Botha then combined with Tim Ludeman (52 from 41) to put the home side within reach of an improbable win, but three late wickets to Sandhu - including the vital scalp of Ludeman - ended the SA charge.
Sandhu finished with 3-55 while Sean Abbott was the pick of the Blues' attack with 3-49 to add to his unbeaten knock of 40 from 34 balls.
After winning the toss and batting, NSW stuttered in the early overs, losing 4-77 before Haddin combined with skipper Peter Nevill to add 91 for the fifth wicket.
The former Test keeper faced just 112 balls for his 125 which included 17 boundaries and three sixes in a knock that should remind national selectors of his potent batting ability.
For the Redbacks, Jake Haberfield took 2-35 from six overs while Botha was the pick of the bowlers with 1-54 from his 13 overs of spin.
