Both won their respective semi-finals on Sunday but rain forced the grand final to be postponed until this Friday at Bonaira Oval.
The Hi-Flyers won through to the big dance by downing The Silly Sloggers by 64 runs (6-132 to 8-68).
Jason Webber (32), Shawn Higgins (30) and Justin Rumble (4-4 including a hat-trick) starred for the victors, while Joe Spain (23) and Brad Vidilini (2-16) tried hard for the Sloggers.
In the other semi-final, the Pink Flamingoes defeated 99 Problems But a Pitch Ain't One 4-152 to 5-96.
With the bat, the Flamingoes were lead by Alec Cooper (50 not out) and Luke Jurancic (42 not out), as Jack Hornsey (2-33) did all he could with the ball for 99 Problems.
Tidy spells from Haminder Singh (2-3) and John Guscott (2-14) restricted 99 Problems' chase, although Brody Foster did score 42 in the loss.
All eyes will now shift to Friday's decider, with the winner gaining entry into the national LMS championships to be held in September at the Gold Coast - featuring 60 of the best sides from around the country.
