De Broughe will await scans on her foot to determine how long her layoff is while regular captain Sophie Molineux will miss again as she recovers from knee soreness.

The Stars have made one change with Liv Henry coming in for Sasha Moloney.
Form guide
Renegades: LWWLL (most recent first)
Despite bowling the Scorchers out for 108, the Renegades fell short in the west on Thursday night.
Stars: LWWLW
The Sixers were far too good for the Stars on Friday, but Annabel Sutherland looks to have really found some form.
Players to watch
Alice Capsey was outstanding against the Scorchers, taking 5-25 in just three overs, while Milly Illingworth was handy with the ball too on Thursday, taking 2-15.
Annabel Sutherland showed power with the bat for the Stars on Friday, but their bowling attack couldn't stop Sixers superstar duo Ellyse Perry and Melie Kerr.
