In the upcoming Match No. 23 of the ongoing European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026, the Dublin Guardians (DBG) will be taking on the Glasgow Cosmic (GGC) at The Village in Malahide, Dublin, on Saturday, September 12, for a thrilling encounter.
The Dublin Guardians haven’t found a good rhythm in the tournament, having won only one game out of the seven they have played this season. They started their journey with five consecutive losses and registered their maiden win against Belfast Wolves. In a bid to make a late resurgence in the season, the Guardians will be desperate to get to the winning ways.
The Glasgow Cosmic, on the other hand, have been even worse. They will be entering the upcoming fixture with a five-match losing streak, and a loss would certainly eliminate them from the competition. They have also won only one match thus far and will be eyeing to get a couple of crucial points in the do-or-die encounter on Saturday.

The Village, Malahide, Dublin: Pitch Report
Anything scored in excess of 175-185 in the first innings can be considered a par score in 20-over fixtures at The Village in Malahide, Dublin. The venue has been offering a good surface to bat on, especially in the early half of the match. However, the pitch tends to get relatively slower. The conditions are also expected to be overcast, which would further force the wicket to slow down.

DBG vs GGC: Probable Best Performers of the Match
Probable Best Batter: Jason Roy
Jason Roy is no rookie when it comes to opening the innings with an attacking mindset. The ace batter has truckloads of experience in T20 cricket and has also shown some form in ETPL 2026, with 217 runs in seven outings at a strike rate close to 150. The erstwhile England cricketer will be looking to provide a handy knock with the bat for the Glasgow-based franchise.
Probable Best Bowler: Lungi Ngidi
If the conversation is around the most improved T20 bowlers in 2026, Lungi Ngidi is without a doubt among the top names in the list. He picked up his form and displayed terrific performances during the T20 World Cup earlier this year. Ngidi has been one of the bowlers in form for his side in ETPL 2026 as well, with eight wickets in six matches to his name.
