Key Player Battles

James Vince vs Tim Pringle: Vince made 73 the last time these sides met, but it was Pringle’s 3 for 22 that eventually stopped him and closed out the match for Amsterdam. This exact rematch is worth watching again.

Tim David vs Craig Young: David made 35 in the reverse fixture, and Young’s pace, which produced a 5 for 21 in Dublin’s one win this season, gives them a route to an early breakthrough.

Steve Smith vs Dublin’s spin attack: Smith has scored well against Dublin before, and how George Dockrell and the rest of Dublin’s spin options handle him again will matter if the match goes deep.

AF vs DG Fantasy Team

Wicketkeeper: Scott Edwards

Batters: James Vince (C), Steve Smith, Tim David, Ajinkya Rahane, Harry Tector

All-rounders: Tim Pringle (VC), Curtis Campher, Michael Bracewell, Vijay Shankar

Bowlers: Craig Young

Vince is captain based on his actual output against this exact opponent, a 73 off 46 balls even in a losing effort, the best individual score in the reverse fixture. Pringle is vice captain given his 3 for 22 in that same match, the best bowling return either side produced.

Steve Smith, Tim David and Curtis Campher are all included on the back of real scores from the last meeting rather than reputation alone.

Match Prediction

Amsterdam Flames have the better recent form and already beat this exact opponent once this season. Their batting order showed real depth in that match, with Smith, David and Campher all contributing, and Tim Pringle finishing off the win with the ball.

Dublin Guardians have James Vince, who has shown he can score heavily even against this Amsterdam attack, and Craig Young gives them a real wicket taking option. But a side with one win from eight matches has more problems than a single good individual performance can fix.

Amsterdam Flames get the edge here, though the 80 percent chance of rain means this match may not be settled in the conventional way.
