Table of Contents

Glasgow Cosmics (GC) and Rotterdam Dockers (RD) will meet in the ninth match of the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026 at Sportpark Duivesteijn in Voorburg. Glasgow Cosmics have won one of their two matches so far, while Rotterdam Dockers have also registered one victory and sit third in the points table.

Glasgow Cosmics enter the contest after a convincing 33-run win over Dublin Guardians, with Jason Roy and Richie Berrington producing impressive knocks. Rotterdam Dockers, meanwhile, chased down 158 against Amsterdam Flames in their last completed match, with Faf du Plessis leading the way with a match-winning 83. Both teams have plenty of experienced names in their squads, setting up an intriguing contest.

Glasgow Cosmics have not yet faced Rotterdam Dockers in the ETPL. As both franchises are new to the competition, there is no previous head-to-head record between the two teams.

The surface at Sportpark Duivesteijn is expected to provide favourable conditions for batting, with the synthetic pitch offering reliable bounce and decent pace. The relatively short boundaries could also reward batters who get themselves set, although fast bowlers may find some early assistance through carry and bounce.

Spinners are unlikely to get much turn from the surface and may have to depend on variations in pace and trajectory to keep the batters under control. A first-innings score around 170 could prove competitive, while the consistent nature of the pitch means chasing should remain a realistic option. The captain winning the toss could therefore prefer to bowl first and assess the target later.

Glasgow Cosmics: George Munsey (c), Jason Roy, Matthew Cross (wk), Liam Livingstone, Moises Henriques, Richie Berrington, Michael Leask, Keshav Maharaj, Ali Khan, Paul van Meekeren, Lungi Ngidi, Liam Naylor, Oliver Davidson, Brad Currie, James Neesham

Rotterdam Dockers: Faf du Plessis (c), Heinrich Klaasen, Anrich Nortje, Aneurin Donald, Ben McDermott, Shubham Ranjane, Ben Manenti, David Wiese, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Jai Moondra, Michael Levitt, Ryan Klein, Jasper Davidson, Saqib Zulfiqar, Vikramjit Singh
