Wodonga is the provincial premiers as it was the highest ranked team, while St Patrick's claimed second grade.
In a statement, Cricket Australia said it "has strongly recommended that all amateur cricket played within the community should cease including community cricket and premier cricket."
"Based on expert advice from CA's Chief Medical Officer John Orchard and recent government information we want to ensure that cricket is doing everything it can to contribute to the global effort to slow, and eventually stop, the spread of coronavirus," it said.
"While cricket is a relatively safe and non-contact sport there are considerable measures that need to be in place to adhere to expert advice around reducing the risk of spreading the virus. We focused specifically on minimising the risk and impact on the cricket communities that we lead and serve, as well as their families."
