Popped Collars vs Gold Diggers
It's Grand Final week. The second season of Kaleen's return to hosting indoor cricket, and the same two teams as last time will contest the deciding game.
Gold Diggers have dominated this season's competition, losing just one of their 23 matches during the regular season - although they have had to fight hard for some of those wins, with their opponents getting within 10 runs on four occasions. All four of those matches, as well as their only loss, came in the second half of the season.
The Popped Collars have dominated the rest of the competition. Excluding games against Gold Diggers, they have 15 wins from 17 matches, with only two close-fought victories (single figure margin). On top of those stats, both teams had relatively comfortable wins in their semi-finals last week.
A few weeks ago, we saw that Gold Diggers have all 4 wins in matches between the two teams. Today, we will take a brief look back at those four eventful matches as we head into tonight's big game...

Finals
It's the end of another season. Popped Collars have, once again, made the finals. Who will step up in these sudden-death, high-pressure matches? Who will be inspired by the occasion to perform well? Who will crumble under the weight of expectation? Who knows.... but we can look back, and see who has done it in the past!
