Both sides are coming off comfortable first round victories and are chasing the prized finals ticket to the SCG.

Cowra's Mick Curtale and Jacob McNaught are set to play key roles again for the Outlaws while Dubbo's Jordan Moran, who recently became a father for the second time, is a huge inclusion after being unavailable at Wade Park last month.

"Jordan (Moran) comes in, he'll strengthen the batting order," team manager Greg Nicholls said.

"Mick (Curtale) will be important in the middle order, and we'll look to Jacob (McNaught), 'Patto' (Ben Patterson) and 'Obie' (James O'Brien) to get some early wickets with the ball.

"It's like any Twenty20 match, though, we want to win the toss and post a decent score."

Nicholls identified a trio of batsman from the Crew which he thought would be a threat to his Western Zone-based side.

Bankstown opening batsmen Peter Wells and Kerrod White, who are both averaging more than 80 in the Sydney first grade competition this season, and their first-drop hitter Kieran Gray are the dangers.

All three made starts against the ACT Aces in their Regional Bash opening round.

"It'll be interesting to see who they've got, the couple from Bankstown did the job for them last match I think," Nicholls said before giving his thoughts on whether Brett Lee would be having a run.

"I doubt it... don't think they're going to fly him over from Channel Nine commentary duty at the Perth Test. Maybe if they make the final."

The encounter is the 12th game of the new competition, and will be the first to be played under lights with fully coloured clothes and a pink ball, in front of an expected healthy Dubbo crowd at No.1 Oval.

Nicholls said there were difficulties in finalising the date of the match but was pleased with the ultimate decision.

"It was always going to be played in Orana as far as I was indicated, it was just a matter of where," Nicholls explained.

"They [Crew] couldn't do last Sunday or this Sunday for some reason so they went with Friday night in Dubbo under lights which should be really good."

The winner will book their ticket to the SCG for Sunday, December 6, and the semi-final against the Border Bullets, where both general managers of the Sydney Big Bash franchises are expected to be watching.

Nicholls said it was a massive incentive.

"The big thing is playing at the SCG and a lot of the boys never have.

"Mick (Curtale) has and I think a few played their when Western won the country championships a few years ago.

"I imagine some Sydney clubs will be floating around, so you never know what could happen."
