The 2017 JLT One-Day Cup was the 48th season of the official List A domestic cricket competition in Australia. It was played over a four-week period at the start of the domestic season to separate its schedule from the Sheffield Shield season.[1] The tournament was held in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Hobart, with all 23 matches to be broadcast live on the Cricket Australia website and app.[2] It was the first time in more than a decade that neither the Nine Network nor Fox Sports (Australia) have hosted a television broadcast of the tournament. The tournament was sponsored by Jardine Lloyd Thompson.
New South Wales were the defending champions.[3] They were eliminated from the tournament after losing their final group fixture to Victoria, when the match was abandoned due to an unsafe pitch.[4] The win gave Victoria a bonus-point victory, knocking New South Wales out of the competition.[4] However, Cricket Australia were conducting a "thorough investigation" into the outcome of the match.[5]
Western Australia finished top of the group stage, progressing directly to the final.[6] South Australia and Victoria finished second and third respectively, progressing to the elimination final.[7] South Australia won the elimination match by 176 runs,[8] and in the final, Western Australia beat South Australia by 6 wickets.[9]
