The Cricket Shepparton contest will have plenty of bearing on the ladder positions of the teams involved, as well as the outfits directly surrounding the Students and Redbacks on the table.
Both of tomorrow's combatants sit one win from second spot on the one-day table, meaning a victory could catapult them right into contention for one of the pair of grand final spots up for grabs.
The Students had a bye last week, but captain Felix Odell will be itching to get back out on the pitch after a stellar start to the summer season.
Odell sits second on the A-grade batting leaderboard on 159 runs, with a game in hand on Numurkah's Dylan Grandell (228).
Former captain Luke McPhillamy could bolster the home side's batting stocks tomorrow after he played his first game of the campaign in B-grade last week, hitting 50 runs at first-drop.
Liam Callegari leads the Students in the bowling stakes with four wickets at an average of 18.75, but it is the Redbacks who boast the dominant statistics with ball in hand to this stage of the season.
Alec Young, Jonathan Hipwell and Lukas Hanslow all have five wickets to their name, while Jackson McLay has four at 12.25.
Paul Newman leads the way with the willow for Kyabram, hitting 112 runs at 37.33 in his three games.
No matter the result of this clash though it will be a special day for the Redbacks tomorrow, with import Billy Cookson returning to the pitch in D-grade a year to the day after his horrific car accident.
