After finishing on top of the table, Coro Cougars will head into the final with plenty of confidence when they take on the defending champions Exies Diggers.
The two sides met last weekend in the second-last regular season round, and it was Coro who came away with the win in a low scoring game.
"It was an interesting game," Coro captain Haydn Pascoe said.
"It was a pretty good effort with the ball, but we probably bit to work on with the bat. It was a bit of a hard outfield to score on the grass was pretty thick."
For Diggers skipper Theo Valeri it is about putting that result out of their mind and concentrating on this weekend.
"We know what we have to do to get the win," Valeri said.
"We just need to put last weekend to the back of our minds, and we will be right."
The defending champions will be heading into the game without some of their firepower with veteran all-rounder Trevor Richards ruled out of the match with a calf injury.
"Trev being out is going to be a big loss for us," Valeri said.
"I think we have the depth to cover the loss, so we aren't too worried about it."
The Diggers side will welcome back opening bowler Dean Villata to try and cover the loss of Richards.
Meanwhile, the Coro side will head into the game off the back of defending their Twenty20 title last weekend with a win over Exies.
"Confidence is pretty big, and it's good to see that we know we can do it," Pascoe said.
"It is good to see a few of the middle order getting a bit of a hit."
The two sides have been evenly matched so far this season, and Valeri is expecting that to be the case on Sunday.
If the game doesn't go ahead this weekend because of the torrential downpours during the week, the title will go to Coro because they finished on top of the table.
If the weather clears and the pitch and outfield is deemed safe to play on the game will start at 1pm on Sunday at Exies No 1 Oval.
