After bowling the Redbacks out for 259 last Saturday at Ken Wust Oval, the Rangas will resume at 1-9.
The Rangas will chase Saturday's target without their leading run-scorer this season after Matt Giri (0) was the wicket to fall last week when dismissed by Ashley Durie.
• Axe Creek is facing a daunting run-chase against United at Champions IGA Oval.
The Tigers last week plundered 9-397 against the Cowboys.
It would be a massive upset if the Cowboys chased down the target, but the Tigers - who won't have Alex Collins bowling - will have in the back of their minds Axe Creek scored 361 against them in round 11 last season, so they won't be under-estimating the opposition.
• Marong has already secured first innings points against bottom side Maiden Gully.
The Panthers are 3-82 after bowling Maiden Gully out for 81 at Marong Links Oval.
• Reigning premier Emu Creek will continue its innings at 1-56 against Spring Gully at JG Edwards Oval.
The Crows are defending a score of 220.
• Golden Gully is 1-44 chasing Sedgwick's 194 at California Gully Oval.
