In only his second game of the 2019–20 Marsh One-Day Cup, Sutherland was named Man of the Match, making his maiden List-A half century scoring 54 runs, and followed it up with bowling figures of 2/43, guiding his team to a 1 run victory.
He made his first-class debut on 12 November 2019, for Victoria in the 2019–20 Sheffield Shield season. In February 2020, in the round eight match against Queensland, Sutherland took his maiden five-wicket haul in first-class cricket, with 5/34. A year later, Sutherland was named the Bradman Young Cricketer of the Year at the 2021 Australian Cricket Awards.
Sutherland was ruled out of stints with both Essex and Somerset due to injuries.
