Four sides will square off in a gala day to cap off the three-week competition.
Gladstone will play CYMS Kellys at Max Stewart Park, while Spring Hill line up against Centrals Wanderers at Anzac Park, with the two winners of that game to square off in the final from 4pm.
Wanderers vice-captain Damien Coughlan said he'd loved the concept of the T20 competition.
"It's a good concept, it's a nice way to break it up, gives us an opportunity to play a different sort of cricket," he said.
Despite the power hitting of all sides who've hit finals, Coughlan said his side was "reasonably" confident heading into the deciders, with several players like Gareth Faul and Kurt Gander returning from second grade and injury respectively.
"Nath Gander's been playing well in the T20s too, we're hoping he can do something," he said.
"Andrew Nelson was on fire in the early games before we lost him for work, Gareth Faul as well if he gets his line and length going."
While his side hasn't clashed with Spring Hill, who were in the other pool to Wanderers, Coughlan still knows to be way of the side.
"They're absolutely a decent side. Dallas Marsh hit another 50 last week and Luke Bingham made 98, we know they're a good side," he said.
And should his side overcome then, they run the risk of coming up against the hot-and-cold Gladstone side, who beat Wanderers by two wickets last week.
"They were missing a few players when we played them last week, we had a collapse but managed to rally back together at the end and we nearly got there," Coughlan said.
"If we come up against them in the final I'm confident our bowling attack can constrain their firepower."
