South Australia's cricketers will try to ignore other games while seeking a win which could deliver a Sheffield Shield final appearance for the first time in two decades.
The Redbacks host Tasmania from Tuesday knowing only a victory can lift them from fourth-place and into the final - depending on other results.
"Hopefully results go our way and there is a chance to play in the Shield final, but winning the game is our priority," wicketkeeper Alex Carey told reporters on Monday.
SA enter the fixture with 40.67 points. Leaders Victoria (46.62) host third-placed NSW (44.13) while second-placed Queensland (45.66) host Western Australia.
The Redbacks, who haven't reached a Shield final since their 1995-96 triumph, will try and block out scores from other games as best they can, Carey said.
