They chased down 172 against Glasgow Cosmic, reaching 177/3 in 16.5 overs, a performance far closer to what their star studded squad was expected to produce.

James Vince and Harry Tector lead the batting, New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell adds further class, and the bowling features England’s Chris Wood, Ireland’s Joshua Little and Craig Young, plus Australia’s Peter Hatzoglou offering leg spin.

Pitch Report

Sportpark Westvliet has strongly favoured pace this season, with quicks taking 73 percent of the wickets across the last 10 matches against just 27 percent for spin, among the sharpest such splits in the tournament.

Recent scores at the ground have varied considerably. Amsterdam’s chase of 172 against Glasgow was one of the higher scoring matches, while Belfast were bowled out for 130 in their loss to Edinburgh, and Dublin themselves have twice been dismissed under 110 earlier this season.

Weather Report

This has been the wettest venue in the competition through the tournament so far, with several matches already disrupted or heavily reduced by rain, including Amsterdam’s own reduced contest against Belfast. Conditions should be checked closer to the toss given how unpredictable this ground has been all season.

Key Player Battles

Ravichandran Ashwin vs Tim David: Ashwin’s off spin against one of the best finishers in the format is the contest that could decide how much control Dublin can exert if the match goes deep.

James Vince vs David Payne: Vince needs runs at the top for Dublin to have any chance of ending their losing run, and Payne’s left arm pace with the new ball was central to Amsterdam’s turnaround last time out.

Daryl Mitchell vs Michael Bracewell: Two New Zealand allrounders on opposite sides, both capable of shaping a match with either discipline.

DG vs AF Fantasy Team

Wicketkeepers: Scott Edwards,

Batters: Steve Smith (C), Yuvraj Sarma, Tim David, Ajinkya Rahane, James Vince,

All-rounders: Ravichandran Ashwin (VC), Michael Bracewell, Vijay Shankar, George Dockrell

Bowlers: David Payne,

Smith gets the captaincy as one of the most accomplished batters in the competition, part of a top order that finally clicked last time out. Ashwin is vice captain as Dublin’s most reliable performer regardless of the side’s results, an allrounder who bowls his full quota and bats in the top order.

The team favours Amsterdam given their upturn in form, balanced with Dublin’s most credible performers as differentials.

Match Prediction

Amsterdam Flames are the side with momentum here, having finally delivered the kind of performance their squad has promised all season. Marsh, Smith, David and Rahane all playing their part in a comfortable chase is a good sign heading into this match.

Dublin Guardians remain winless and have not posted a total above 150 all season. Ashwin, Vince and Vijay Shankar give them real quality, but four defeats without ever really threatening a win points to deeper issues than bad luck alone.

Amsterdam Flames should win here, with Dublin’s best hope being a big Ashwin performance with the ball to keep the game tight into the second innings.
