Bay of Plenty Indians will go into the Lakeland T20 final with massive confidence after beating the team they will face comfortably last weekend.

The Backyard Pub Central side will need to learn from their mistakes when they face the rampart Indian side at Smallbone Park.

Batting first in the penultimate round at Nei Hunt Park, Central mustered 116/9 propped up by the in-form Lokesh Gahlan with 60. Indians chased down the target relatively easily with the loss of six wickets.

In the battle of the youngsters, Trident High School came out on top over Geyser Mavericks by 86 runs led by a magic 96 from Daniel Ford.

Ryan Hall had a day out in a losing cause for Tokoroa scoring 70 in their first game against Central before grabbing 3/19 against Generation Homes Lake Taupo.

A first round bye for the Rotorua Lions saw them well rested for an onslaught on Geyser Reserves smashing 183/3 in their 20 overs, Gayan Jayasundara (83) and Joel Benjamin (58) doing the damage.

Taupō Cossie Old Boys A grabbed two wins over Geyser City Reserves and Taupo Cossie Old Boys B

The grand final between Bay of Plenty Indians and Central kicks off at 4pm at Smallbone Park this Saturday.
