The Rotorua-based Bay of Plenty Indians will do battle with Whakatane United during the next round of the Lonestar T20 Baywide title race.

The T20 Baywide premier competition returns tomorrow, following the holiday season break, for rounds five and six at Tauranga's Fergusson Park.

Mount Maunganui and Eves Realty Greerton will put their unbeaten records on the line tomorrow while the other six teams try to chase them down.

During the fifth round tomorrow at noon, the Indians and Whakatane will go head to head to try and get their T20 seasons back on track.

At the other end of the spectrum, the two unbeaten teams, Greerton and Mount Maunganui, will go head to head.

While Greerton have kept a clean slate with two of their four matches being rained off, Mount Maunganui have already beaten Central, Tauranga Boys' College, Whakatane United and City Sports Bar Te Puke.

In other matches, Cadets should have a good tussle with Te Puke, and Tauranga Boys' College play Rotorua Central.

The main attraction in round six should be between Tauranga Boys' College and Te Puke. Tauranga Boys are chasing a three-peat of Baywide T20 crowns, while Te Puke is the only unbeaten side in the Williams Cup title race.

The inter-city battle between Central and Greerton is likely to be intense after the Rotorua side beat Greerton in the Williams Cup three weeks ago.

Lonestar T20 Baywide draw for Saturday February 15:

Round Five: Element IMF Cadets v City Sports Bar Te Puke, Ferguson 1; BOP Indians v Whakatane United, Ferguson 4; Eves Realty Greerton v Mount Maunganui, Ferguson 3; Tauranga Boys' College v Central, Ferguson 2.

Round Six: Central v Eves Realty Greerton, Ferguson 1; City Sports Bar Te Puke v Tauranga Boys' College, Ferguson 2; Whakatane United v Cadets, Ferguson 3; Mount Maunganui v BOP Indians, Ferguson 4.
