Round 11 rolls around quickly with an early Tuesday start in Geelong. The Melbourne Stars and the Melbourne Renegades have the doubles and SuperCoaches have five trades to use wisely.
Perth Scorchers v Melbourne Stars – Tuesday 2:10pm AEDT @ GMHBA Stadium
Scorchers
Cameron Bancroft is a late out due to being a COVID-19 close contact, meaning Perth will scramble to have a recognised wicketkeeper, likely dipping into the local replacement player pool. Nick Hobson should come in and take Bancroft’s spot as opener. Jason Behrendorff is set to return after a few games out, with Lance Morris to make way, although Peter Hatzoglou isn’t secure.
Probable Ins: J.Behrendorff, N.Hobson, LRP wicketkeeper
Probable Outs: L.Morris, C.Sabburg, C.Bancroft
Unavailable: C.Connolly (U19 World Cup), J.Richardson (Ashes), M.Marsh (Ashes), J.Inglis (Ashes), T.Mills (England T20I), C.Munro (COVID-19), C.Bancroft (close contact)

Stars
Glenn Maxwell is out of isolation and set to return. The overs he bowls means Xavier Crone should drop out for him. Marcus Stoinis may return from a slight back injury and if he does Nick Larkin would likely drop out, with Clint Hinchliffe doing enough with the ball against the Adelaide Strikers to retain his place. He also offers some late-overs hitting ability.
Probable Ins: G.Maxwell, M.Stoinis
Probable Outs: X.Crone, N.Larkin

Melbourne Renegades v Sydney Sixers – Tuesday 7:15pm AEDT @ GMHBA Stadium
Renegades
The Renegades were humbled by the Thunder last time they played, so they might re-jig their batting line-up with Mackenzie Harvey returning to open in place of Sam Harper who has failed in his past three innings. James Seymour drops out of the squad with Jake Fraser-McGurk likely to replace him. Either Josh Lalor or Cam Boyce should play. James Prestwidge may have cleared COVID-19 protocols to return too, in place of Will Sutherland.
