After three rounds, only half of the 12 matches have produced a result, with the rest washed out.

The grand final re-match between premiers Yackandandah and Kiewa will only add to the expectation.

The home team claimed last season's decider after amassing 7-174 from its 40 overs, with Kiewa skittled for 105.

"All the other times we've played them, they batted really deep and I reckon their bowling is the best in the league," Yackandandah's Jay Hillary offered.

"Everyone raves on about pace, but I think it's all to do with their line and length."

Kiewa's Jacob Barber leads the wicket-takers with seven at seven apiece.

"I reckon he's really stepped up since he became captain," Hillary praised.
