BW vs AF Fantasy Prediction, 20th Match: Belfast Wolves vs Amsterdam Flames Fantasy Team, Playing XI, Pitch Report, ETPL 2026

Belfast Wolves and Amsterdam Flames both arrive on seven points, having taken different routes to get there. Amsterdam won three straight before losing their last two, most recently to Rotterdam Dockers, while Belfast have won three of their last four, including a big win over Glasgow Cosmic built on Mark Chapman’s unbeaten 71. Glenn Maxwell captains Belfast, and Mitchell Marsh leads an Amsterdam side whose standout recent performer has actually been Yuvraj Samra rather than any of its bigger names. These recent performances will be important to consider while building the BW vs AF Fantasy Team for this match.

BW vs AF Head to Head Record

Belfast Wolves lead the head to head 1-0, though the only previous meeting tells us very little about a normal contest. Persistent rain reduced that match to five overs a side, and Amsterdam posted 56/2 before Belfast chased it down in just 3.5 overs for a nine wicket win. Given the shortened format, this result carries limited weight heading into a full 20 over match.

BW vs AF Squads

Belfast Wolves: Glenn Maxwell captains the side and is also a co-owner of the franchise alongside Rohan Lund. He remains Belfast’s top run scorer this season with 113 runs, and Mark Chapman has been in excellent recent form, having struck an unbeaten 71 in the win over Glasgow Cosmic. Paul Stirling and David Miller add further experience, and Mark Adair leads the bowling.

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

Amsterdam Flames: Mitchell Marsh captains the side, part of a squad assembled by Steve Waugh’s ownership group. Yuvraj Samra has actually been Amsterdam’s standout recent performer rather than any of the bigger overseas names, striking 73 off 32 balls in the win over Glasgow Cosmic, with Tim David also contributing 47 in the same match.

Full squad: Mitchell Marsh (c), Scott Edwards (wk), Steve Smith, Tim David, Ajinkya Rahane, Michael Bracewell, Bas de Leede, Yuvraj Samra, Curtis Campher, Max O’Dowd, Ali Hasan, Jordan Neill, Tim Pringle, Aryan Dutt, David Payne, Richard Gleeson, Kyle Klein, David Rushmere.

Key Player Battles

Yuvraj Samra vs Belfast’s new ball attack: Samra’s 73 off 32 was the standout individual performance of Amsterdam’s recent winning run, and stopping him early would take real momentum out of their innings.

Mark Chapman vs Amsterdam’s death bowling: Chapman’s unbeaten 71 won Belfast their last match, and how Amsterdam’s attack handles him in the closing overs could decide this game too.

Glenn Maxwell vs Michael Bracewell: Two allrounders and leadership figures, both capable of shifting a tight contest with either bat or ball.

BW vs AF Fantasy Team

Wicketkeepers: Yuvraj Samra (VC),

Batters: Mark Chapman (C), Tim David, Paul Stirling, Steve Smith, David Miller,

All-rounders: Glenn Maxwell, Michael Bracewell, Bas de Leede,

Bowlers: Mark Adair, Chris Jordan,

Chapman gets the captaincy on the back of his unbeaten 71 in Belfast’s most recent win, the standout individual score for either side in recent matches. Samra is vice captain given his 73 off 32 for Amsterdam, a bigger recent contribution than any of Amsterdam’s more recognised overseas names.

Maxwell is included for his season long output, 113 runs and counting, rather than a single standout recent score, since he remains Belfast’s most consistent contributor over the full campaign.

Match Prediction

This is close to level on the numbers. Both sides are on seven points, both have shown they can win comfortably, and the one previous meeting between them was too rain affected to offer a meaningful guide.

Belfast Wolves have the more recent momentum, with Mark Chapman’s form and three wins in four matches, while Amsterdam Flames have Yuvraj Samra playing above expectations and a deep batting order through Smith, David and Bracewell.

This is difficult to separate, with Belfast’s recent form offering the slightest of edges, though Amsterdam’s batting depth means they are equally capable of a big total if the match goes their way.
