- Doubtful: Bryce Jackson (quad), Matt Kelly (finger)
- Unavailable: David Payne (ILT20), Josh Inglis, Jhye Richardson (Test squad), Lance Morris (back)
The Scorchers' attack will be weakened by the absence of Jhye Richardson. Brody Couch, Joel Paris, and Mahli Beardman are expected to be the pace bowlers, with Ashton Agar providing spin. Aaron Hardie and Cooper Connolly are likely to share the sixth bowling duties.
The selection between Finn Allen and Laurie Evans as to who keeps wicket remains uncertain. The Scorchers have added Joel Curtis as a local replacement wicketkeeper, but it is unlikely that he will break into the starting XI.
