Having suffered a tough defeat to the Border Bullets on their home track last weekend, this weekend will see them take on the ACT Aces and Wagga Wagga Sloggers.
There has been a couple of handy inclusions into the side who will head to Lavington Sportsground with and captain Haydn Pascoe hopes both Prince Singh and Shayan Khan can make an impact.
"Dean and Theo said they liked what they saw from him (Khan) on the weekend," he said.
"He will be a handy inclusion into the squad with a few of the 18s unavailable with other commitments, so we had to find a couple of players.
"Prince is in the side as well, and he will be a pretty big inclusion at the top of the order."
Khan made quite the impact in his first club game with Diggers scoring an unbeaten 28 before picking up 2/11 from his four overs against Leagues.
The main takeaway for the Rangers from the opening game defeat was the need to rotate the strike a bit better at the top of the order.
"We just didn't really bat real well," he said.
"Our openers got a bit bogged down, and don't get me wrong, they (Bullets) had a really good bowling line-up, but we just didn't manipulate the strike enough and didn't rotate and tried to bang ourselves out of trouble.
"We just need to work on rotating the strike a bit more would be key for us."

While knowing there will be two difficult games on Sunday, Pascoe is hoping they will be able to come away with at least one success.
"We know we are going to have a bit of a challenge in the ACT, but hopefully, we can get away with at least one win for the weekend," he said.
