Glasgow Cosmics (GGC) will take on Dublin Guardians (DBG) in the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026 at Sportpark Duivesteijn in Voorburg on Saturday. Both sides have endured disappointing starts to their campaigns and will be desperate to open their account in the points table.
Dublin Guardians suffered a heavy 52-run defeat against Belfast Wolves in their previous outing. After conceding 184/7, they lost six wickets for just 36 runs during the chase and eventually finished on 132/9. George Munsey’s Glasgow Cosmics, meanwhile, were bowled out for only 115 against Edinburgh Castle Rockers before the latter chased down the target inside 12 overs. With both teams coming off convincing defeats, this contest provides an opportunity to quickly turn things around.

Glasgow Cosmics and Dublin Guardians have not yet faced each other in the ETPL. As both franchises are new to the competition, there is no previous head-to-head record between the two teams.
Sportpark Duivesteijn Pitch Report
The surface at Sportpark Duivesteijn in Voorburg is expected to offer a reasonably balanced contest between the bat and ball. Recent matches at the venue have produced first-innings scores in the region of 150-160, suggesting that batters can score freely once they settle in. The new-ball bowlers could find some assistance early on, while batters who adapt to the conditions should be able to accelerate as the innings progresses. The pitch is unlikely to heavily favour either discipline, making execution and game awareness important. The captain winning the toss may prefer to bowl first, assess the conditions and then chase with a clearer idea of the target.
