Albury now sits three games clear of seventh-placed Belvoir with four rounds remaining.
Zimbabwean import Innocent Kaia continued his stellar season with the bat, blasting 70 from 32 balls in Albury's nine wicket win against the Phoenix on Saturday, before backing it up with 96 from 70 on Sunday in another nine-wicket triumph.
"We actually had a big family fun day today (Sunday) and we had a supporter base of about 100 people watching and Innocent put on a show," Albury's Kade Brown said.
"He's next level, he's a seriously good cricketer. He knows the game, he loves the game and I think he's really enjoying his time here which makes it even better."

Albury has a tough run home with three of the final four games (North Albury, Lavington and Tallangatta) against sides in the top six, while also facing Belvoir in the penultimate round.
After not getting a result in Saturday's clash, Lavington defeated Belvoir by seven wickets with an over to spare at Willow Park on Sunday, while Tallangatta took down North Albury by 41 runs at Rowen Park to square the ledger after falling to the Hoppers by seven wickets on Saturday.
