The Havana Eatery Baywide Twenty20 final, to be fought out at the Bay Oval on Friday night, is a repeat of the 2020 contest between Bond & Co Mount Maunganui and Eves Realty Greerton.
In that match, Mount Maunganui squeezed home by just four runs.
Greerton repelled a spirited challenge from Generation Homes Lake Taupō in semifinal action to make the title decider.
The Taupō side's visit to Pemberton Park saw them take the game to the current Versatile Tauranga Williams Cup and Bay of Plenty Cup titleholders from the opening ball.
At four down with 90 runs on the board, Lake Taupō upped the ante and posted a solid 170 for the loss of seven wickets. Ray How top-scored with a hard-fought 60 with Michael Mitchell (28) and Joe O'Donoghue (21 not out) providing good support.
