Everything is ready for the big game of the season.
Hapoel Tel Aviv and Bnei Herzliya meet tonight (Thursday) in the state cup final and want to lift the title after almost 30 years. The Reds did so for the last time in the 1992/93 season while Herzliya lifted the coveted trophy in the 1994/95 season.
Herzliya comes into the game from first place in the Premier League table and after impressive victories over Nes Ziona in the quarterfinals, and Hapoel Holon in the semifinals.
The X Factor of Oren Aharoni tonight is expected to be Chinano Onoako, who excelled against Holon with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

Opposite her is Hapoel Tel Aviv, which has counted seven victories in its last eight games in all competitions, including one particularly prestigious over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the semi-finals.
The one who excelled in that game was Jacoben Brown, who exploded on the Yellows in the hall with 30 points, 9 assists and 6 rebounds.
The two teams met once this season, in the opening round of the league, so Herzliya defeated Hapoel Tel Aviv away. In the cup, they faced each other only once, when in the 2017/18 season, the Reds won in the Jubilee Hall of Herzliya.
