The Renegades have added Kane Richardson and Marcus Harris to their squad, aiming to strengthen their lineup for the upcoming clash. The match is set to kick off at 7:15pm AEDT at Optus Stadium.
Both teams have made changes to their squads for this important match, with Marsh and Richardson returning for the Scorchers, while Kane Richardson and Harris join the Renegades.
