Glasgow Cosmic and Amsterdam Flames are set to face each other in the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026 at The Village in Dublin. The two teams have had contrasting campaigns so far, with Amsterdam Flames sitting fourth on the points table while Glasgow Cosmic are fifth after winning only two of their nine matches.
Amsterdam Flames have been in good form and recently registered a convincing 59-run victory over Dublin Guardians. Bas de Leede has been their leading run-scorer with 306 runs, while Michael Bracewell has made a major impact with the ball, picking up 16 wickets. The Flames will be keen to build on their latest win and strengthen their position in the competition.
Glasgow Cosmic, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency throughout the tournament and are coming off a 103-run defeat against Belfast Wolves. Jason Roy leads their batting charts with 223 runs, while Ali Khan has taken 10 wickets. They will need a much-improved performance with both bat and ball to challenge the Flames.

The Village Pitch Report
The surface at The Village in Dublin is expected to provide a fairly even contest between the bat and ball. The new ball could offer some assistance to the pacers, with early movement likely to test batters before they settle into their innings. Once the initial phase is negotiated, batters should find conditions more comfortable for stroke-making. Those who spend some time at the crease could take advantage of the consistent surface and accelerate as the innings progresses.
The pitch is therefore likely to reward disciplined bowling early on, while teams with depth in their batting lineup could benefit later in the innings. Captains may look to make the most of the conditions with the new ball before backing their batters to control the middle and death overs.
