Emmaville secured their place in the decider in the first round of the semifinals while the Colts demolished Kings Gym on Saturday to earn their spot.
The Colts set Kings Gym 165 to win but the Colts’ bowlers made light work of their opposition and tore through them for just 55 runs.
The Colts lost to Emmaville in the first round of semifinals but captain Nathan Purvis is confident his side can step up in the grand final.
"We were light on bowlers when we played them the last time and we are back to full-strength,” he said.
"They are pretty well-balanced side in the sense that they have some older players that can handle pressure very well and they have some younger players which have enthusiasm and skill as well.
"We will certainly be the underdogs and it will certainly take a bit of an all-round performance to beat them.
"We played them the first week of the finals and scored 196 and thought we were a pretty good chance to roll them that day and true to their form they steadied the ship and won easily.”
