Charlie Stobo was nearly the hero for NSW, as Victoria held on in the last over for their first one-day win of the season.
The No.8's 47 from 41 balls made for a riveting finish, after NSW had collapsed again at Junction Oval in the wake of last week's Sheffield Shield loss.
Stobo's impressive knock brought them to within five runs of a comeback win, before he holed out to Todd Murphy at mid-off off the bowling of paceman Sam Elliott with four balls left.
NSW were dismissed for 178 in reply to Victoria's 8-183. The game was shortened to 36 overs per side because of morning rain.
