The Bushrangers and Redbacks will square off in the West Pilbara Junior Cricket final after scoring big victories over their opponents.

In Bulgarra, the Bushrangers had a comprehensive 129-run win over the Tigers, thanks to 66 off 38 balls by Will Cooney.

Cooney guided his team to 5-166, blasting eight fours and two sixes in a career best score before finally being caught out off the bowling of Jinang Shah (2-7).

The Bushrangers' bowlers then ripped through the Tigers' line up, with Cooney (3-1), Jacob Barnes (2-5) and Jed Yeatman (2-4) getting among the wickets to bowl the Tigers out for 37.

The Millars Well game had a similar outcome as the top-of-the-table Redbacks posted 2-156 to win by 71 runs over the Bulls.

The Bulls were sent in to bat and Riley Tennant (34) put in another solid performance, but wickets fell around him as no one else managed double figures.

Redbacks batsmen James O'Brien (27) and Rueben McCawley (23) led the scoring for their team as they eased their way past the Bulls score.

The Redbacks will go in as favourites, having defeated the Bushrangers every time they have played this season.
