There's a lot of reason to be at No. 1 Oval on Friday night.
Rampaging RSL-Whitney Cup leaders RSL-Colts will do battle with second-placed Macquarie in a bumper McDonald's Megahit match.
It marks a third successive week of Twenty20 matches for Colts, who enter the match in red-hot form after defeating CYMS and South Dubbo by 10 wickets and 69-runs respectively in the past two games.
The likes of Charlie Kempston, Mitch Bower, and Chris Morton have all been among the runs in those matches but if there is one lineup which can Colts for power it is Macquarie.
But despite possessing the class of Jason Green, Ricky Medway, Ed Haylock, and Myles Smith the Blues haven't hit their straps in the Megahit this season and have yet to score a win from three T20 fixtures.
The batting lineup is yet to fully fire as Macquarie have not posted more than 137 across the three losses.
A win over Colts on Friday would provide a huge confidence boost while it would also help the Blues strengthen their hold on second place on the ladder ahead of Saturday's meeting with Newtown.
Macquarie currently sits a whopping 19 points off Colts as the men in red hurtle towards the minor premiership after losing just one game across the two formats this season.
Macquarie is four points ahead of the third-placed CYMS while Newtown is a further three points back in fourth.
Play starts 6.30pm at No. 1 Oval.
