Scheduled to play against the Berrigan Saints at Memorial Park from 12.30pm, the Rhinos are looking to get their fifth consecutive win in A-grade before one final 45-over game for the season before the Christmas break.
The Rhinos already played the Saints earlier this season in round six at Berrigan, with the Rhinos winning by 163 runs.
The ladder positions in the MVCA A-grade competition after the last round remain largely the same, while a gap is widening between the top four teams for finals qualification.
All four teams won against the bottom four teams they were matched up against.
The Rhinos sit in third place with six wins and one no result after their 117-run win in their 40-over match at home against Tocumwal on Saturday.
They are one win ahead of Katamatite in fourth, and behind Cobram in first and Nathalia in second by one result.
Berrigan sits seventh based on net run rate, but is tied with Tocumwal and Barooga each with two wins.
Tomorrow will be Harry Hillier’s 100th game for the Deni Rhinos.
He will be the eighth player to achieve the feat, and the Rhinos sides will be looking to get a win in his milestone match.

Tocumwal rounds out the top four based on net run rate, tied with Katunga and Strathmerton all with two wins and one no result.
