SYDNEY, March 14: New South Wales will be boosted by seven Australian Test players in Saturday’s Pura Cup cricket final against Victoria.

This year’s interstate final at Sydney Cricket Ground will feature Australian cricket’s two traditional rivals, with the teams winning the competition 66 times (NSW 35-31) between them in 105 seasons.

Both sides finished level on 39 points after the regular 10-match season, with New South Wales hosting the final due to a greater runs quotient.
