Beat a Western Plains Automotive Cougars side which has done nothing but struggle in Twenty20 cricket in recent times and advance to the McDonald Megahit finals.
The Crackerjacks sit on four points, one behind Bluey’s Meats, and a win over the Cougars will see them leapfrog the Rugby side into the top three and set up a semi-final date with the Castlereagh Hornets.
But captain Keiran Brien won’t be taking anything for granted, with the Cougars showing glimpses of improvement at a couple of different stages this season.
The Crackerjacks have won two from four so far this season, with their batting at times lighting up the competition.
But the side is coming off a loss to the Hornets, a game in which they were unable to defend 6/146.
Friday’s match at No. 1 Oval, the final regular season game of the season, begins at 6.30pm.
