* This season head-to-head: Strikers 1, Hurricanes 1

* KEY PLAYERS:

- TRAVIS HEAD (Strikers): Smacked a match-winning 85 from 57 balls in a semi-final. Also an under-rated offspinner and a composed young captain.

- D'ARCY SHORT (Hurricanes): The tournament's leading scorer with 504 runs at a strike-rate of 147.80. Also has hit more sixes (22) than anyone.

- BEN LAUGHLIN (Strikers): Has 16 wickets this tournament - equal-second on the list. A cool-headed death-bowler boasting a knuckle ball few can pick.
