"[I] probably wouldn't say it's our strongest suit ... probably more suits Old Boys," he said. "They're obviously pretty impressive.
"We were pretty close in the one-dayers - we were getting a few [good] scores."
Indeed, Stevenson said there were "some good signs" that Wests were on the verge of tapping a richer form vein.

"We're nearly there. There's some good signs with everyone, and whatnot.
"A little bit of momentum into Christmas would be good."
Wests only secured one T20 win last year, but found good form after Christmas and rolled into the grand final.
In other matches on Saturday, Bective East and South Tamworth meet at Riverside 2, while North Tamworth and City United clash at No 1 Oval.
