Dublin Guardians and Rotterdam Dockers are set to clash in the 10th fixture of the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026 at Sportpark Duivesteijn in Voorburg. Dublin are yet to secure a victory in their opening three matches, whereas Rotterdam have claimed one win from their campaign so far.
Dublin suffered a four-wicket defeat against Edinburgh Castle Rockers in their previous outing after being bowled out for just 109. Rotterdam, on the other hand, will enter the contest with confidence following their five-wicket triumph over Amsterdam Flames, powered by a match-winning innings from Faf du Plessis. The contrasting form makes Rotterdam the more favored side heading into this matchup.

Head-to-Head Record
Dublin Guardians and Rotterdam Dockers have never faced each other in the ETPL. As both franchises are participating in the competition for the first time, no previous head-to-head record exists between the two sides.
Pitch Report
The surface at Sportpark Duivesteijn in Voorburg has typically offered slower conditions, emphasizing the importance of batters settling in before attempting aggressive strokes. The ball may not come onto the bat as quickly as anticipated, making stroke-making challenging against disciplined bowling attacks.
These sluggish conditions are expected to bring spinners into the mix, while seamers targeting the surface could extract variable bounce. Batters will likely need to rely on precise placement and strike rotation rather than constantly targeting boundaries. A competitive first-innings total may hover around the 150-160 range, though the team batting first must carefully assess the conditions before setting a target.
