The ladder-leading Strikers have made two changes for Monday night's match.

Spinner Ben Manenti comes in for Wes Agar, while Henry Hunt replaces the injured Jake Weatherald (abdominal strain).

Agar snared 3-38 in last week's six-run loss to the Heat, and it's unclear whether he was ruled out due to injury or given a rest.Â

The Scorchers have named the same XI that posted a dominant 61-run victory over the Melbourne Stars last week.

TEAMS

Strikers: Henry Hunt, Matt Short, Chris Lynn, Adam Hose, Colin de Grandhomme, Thomas Kelly, Harry Nielsen, Rashid Khan, Ben Manenti, Henry Thornton, Peter Siddle (capt)

Scorchers: Adam Lyth, Francois du Plessis, Nick Hobson, Josh Inglis, Ashton Turner (capt), Aaron Hardie, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou
