Melbourne Renegades vs Sydney Sixers
Thursday 1 January, 4pm AEDT
Marvel Stadium, Melbourne<\/p>\n
Melbourne Renegades
Not 100%: Tom Rogers (shoulder)
Unavailable: Nathan Lyon (hamstring), Brendan Doggett (Test squad), Will Salzmann (hamstring), Callum Stow (back)<\/p>\n
No changes<\/p>\n
The \u2018Gades are last with a 1-2 record but they\u2019re biggest issue is their batters being unable to convert starts into big scores, so personnel changes may not fix that. Still, Caleb Jewell is waiting in the wings. Likewise, Tom Rogers is getting closer to a return but not just yet.<\/p>\n

Sydney Sixers
Not 100%: None
Unavailable: Sam Curran (ILT20), Steve Smith, Mitch Starc, Todd Murphy (Test squad)<\/p>\n
Likely Ins: J.Chohan \/ Likely Outs: B.Manenti<\/p>\n
The Sixers were handsomely beaten by the ladder leading Melbourne Stars. They\u2019ll likely want to make some changes, with Kane Richardson belted for 41 runs across 2 overs and Ben Manenti sparingly used. Mitch Perry and Hayden Kerr are a chance to replace Richardson. Lachie Shaw remains unlucky.<\/p>\n

Hobart Hurricanes vs Perth Scorchers
Thursday 1 January, 7:15pm AEDT
Ninja Stadium, Hobart<\/p>\n
Hobart Hurricanes
Not 100%: Nikhil Chaudhary (shoulder)
Unavailable: Beau Webster, Jake Weatherald (Test squad), Tim David (hamstring), Iain Carlisle (hamstring)<\/p>\n
Likely Ins: M.Wright \/ Likely Outs: B.Webster<\/p>\n
Beau Webster returns to the Test squad on New Year\u2019s Eve, so will miss this game. That opens the door for Mac Wright\u2019s return. Nikhil Chaudhary will be monitored after a shoulder concern last game, but after exiting during the fielding innings in the hands of the medical team, he did manage to bat and seemed fine.<\/p>\n
Predicted line-up<\/p>\n
M.Owen
\nT.Ward
\nN.Chaudhary
\nB.McDermott
\nM.Wright
\nM.Wade (wk)
\nRehan Ahmed
\nC.Jordan

Perth Scorchers
Not 100%: None
Unavailable: David Payne (ILT20), Josh Inglis, Jhye Richardson (Test squad), Lance Morris (back), Matt Kelly (injury)<\/p>\n
Likely Ins: A.Hardie, J.Paris \/ Likely Outs: J.Inglis, C.Rocchiccioli<\/p>\n
Like Webster, Josh Inglis will miss this game, returning to the Test squad on New Year\u2019s Eve. Game 1 performance will dictate selection. Assuming spinner Corey Rocchiccioli plays on a spin-friendly wicket at Sydney Thunder, we anticipate he drops out for this one.<\/p>\n
