Belfast Wolves (BW) and Edinburgh Castle Rockers (ECR) will meet in the 11th match of the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026 at Sportpark Duivesteijn in Voorburg. Both sides have won their opening two matches and will be looking to continue their unbeaten starts to the competition.

Belfast Wolves come into the contest after a nine-wicket win over Amsterdam Flames in a rain-shortened five-over game. Edinburgh Castle Rockers, meanwhile, defeated Dublin Guardians by four wickets in their previous outing, with Mitchell Santner producing an excellent spell with the ball. With both teams sitting near the top of the table, another competitive encounter is expected.

BW vs ECR: Head-to-Head Record

Belfast Wolves have not yet faced Edinburgh Castle Rockers 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 has generally been on the slower side, making it important for batters to spend some time at the crease before attempting expansive shots. The ball may not come onto the bat consistently, while the low nature of the pitch can make strokeplay difficult, particularly when batters try to play aggressively from the beginning.

Spinners could play an important role as the surface offers assistance to bowlers who vary their pace and flight. Pacers who hit the deck can also extract uneven bounce and make life uncomfortable for the batters. A measured approach in the early stages of the innings could therefore be crucial, with teams likely to value wickets over simply chasing a high run rate.

Squads

Edinburgh Castle Rockers: Mitchell Santner (c), Ross Adair, JJ Smuts, Andries Gous (wk), Brandon McMullen, Laurie Evans, Gareth Delany, Tom Curran, Trent Boult, Mark Watt, Jack Jarvis, Rushil Ugarkar, Ollie Jones, Sean Solia, Finlay McCreath, Andrew Tye, Safyaan Sharif

Belfast Wolves: Glenn Maxwell (c), Mark Chapman, Paul Stirling, David Miller, Tim Tector, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Chris Jordan, Mark Adair, Fred Klaassen, Matthew Humphreys, Harry Manenti, Saurabh Netravalkar, Devon Conway, Crishan Kalugamage, Gavin Hoey, Zainullah Ihsan, Alexander Roy
