Hobart Hurricanes vs Brisbane Heat
Wednesday 14 January, 7:15pm local time \/ AEDT
Ninja Stadium, Hobart<\/p>\n
Hobart Hurricanes
Not 100%: Jake Weatherald (post-Ashes break)
Unavailable: Tim David (hamstring), Iain Carlisle (hamstring)<\/p>\n
Likely Ins: N.Ellis \/ Likely Outs: B.Stanlake<\/p>\n
Nathan Ellis should return after being managed, while keep an eye on Jake Weatherald\u2019s status which will impact Tim Ward\u2019s selection. Ellis likely replaces Billy Stanlake, but the \u2018Canes may also look to keep managing\/rotating players with finals likely.<\/p>\n

Brisbane Heat
Not 100%: Michael Neser (post-Ashes break)
Unavailable: Callum Vidler (stress fracture), Spencer Johnson (back), Shaheen Shah Afridi (knee), Tom Alsop (knee)<\/p>\n
Likely Ins: M.Neser \/ Likely Outs: T.Balkin<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no need for changes for the Heat after a handsome win bolstered by their Australian Test players returning. Michael Neser\u2019s availability is the watch and he should come in for Tom Balkin to bolster their line-up further. Jack Wildermuth\u2019s swashbuckling knock as an opener means they\u2019ll persist with him up top despite Marnus Labuschagne\u2019s availability.<\/p>\n

Melbourne Renegades vs Perth Scorchers
Thursday 15 January, 7:15pm local time \/ AEDT
Marvel Stadium, Melbourne<\/p>\n
Melbourne Renegades
Not 100%: Adam Zampa (neck), Tom Rogers (shoulder)
Unavailable: Nathan Lyon (hamstring), Will Salzmann (hamstring), Ollie Peake (U19 World Cup), Tom Rogers (shoulder)<\/p>\n
Likely Ins: A.Zampa \/ Likely Outs: C.Stow<\/p>\n
Adam Zampa and Tom Rogers will both be squarely in the mix to play this game following injuries, assuming they don\u2019t play on Monday. That\u2019ll create some selection dilemmas with game 1 performances important. Neither of Gurinder Sandhu or Brendan Doggett are safe. Rogers hasn\u2019t played competitively for a long time, having undergone off-season shoulder surgery, so it\u2019s hard to see him rushed back but their season is on the line.<\/p>\n
