The two finalists, along with Wagga Wagga and the Orange Invitational XI all finished the three-game round-robin stage of the tournament undefeated, and were ultimately only separated on net run rate (NRR).

Dubbo destroyed St George on Wednesday, smashing 3-309 before skittling their opposition for 66 to substantially boost their NRR and leapfrog the ACT under 15 side into top spot, claiming the minor title as a result.

ACT also claimed a third straight win, defeating Parramatta by just two wickets in a low-scoring affair at Riawena Oval.

In fact, thanks to it being such a low-scoring game ACT's NRR suffered badly enough to almost let third-placed Wagga, who thumped Shoalhaven, skip ahead of them as well.

However, thanks to two huge wins on Monday and Tuesday the ACT side held second spot.

Wagga, as a result of the third place finish, will play off with hosts Orange, who trumped Blacktown on Wednesday, for third place.

In other results Manly-Warringah upset Mitchell Cricket Council, the ACT under 14s defeated South Coast and Wakatipu High School scored its first win of the carnival, over Newington.

The decider, third place play-off and the remaining consolation finals kick off at 9am.
