Both teams have secured three wins apiece to win their way through to the final, with Doutta Stars CC coming from the Melbourne Renegades Conference and Tallangatta from the Melbourne Stars Conference.
Doutta Stars, who play in the Victorian Turf Cricket Association, have been in good touch throughout the competition and already have some experience on the big stage after finishing as runners-up in the 2013-14 final to Baden Powell CC.
The Stars defeated Lower Eltham, East Belmont and Gisborne in their three matches to book a place on the MCG.
Lorenzo Ingram has been the standout performer for Doutta, hitting 161 runs in the three games including 80 against Gisborne in their conference final.
Coming from the Cricket Albury Wodonga competition, Tallangatta have also been in red-hot form throughout the tournament, with three relatively comfortable wins against Montrose, Vermont and Sorrento on their way to the final.
Brett Allan has been in good touch, having taken five wickets throughout the tournament including a performance of 3-22 in his side’s conference final victory over Sorrento.
Allan has also proved more than handy with the bat, with 102 runs from his two innings during the competition.
