DG vs RD Squads

Dublin Guardians: Ravichandran Ashwin captains the side in a dual role as playing captain and mentor, part of a leadership group that includes owner Rahul Dravid and head coach Vikram Rathour. Vijay Shankar joined this season as a marquee signing, reuniting with Ashwin and Dravid after years of working together in Indian cricket.

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.

Full squad: Ravichandran Ashwin (c), Vijay Shankar, James Vince, Harry Tector, Daryl Mitchell, Muhammad Waseem, Benjamin Calitz (wk), George Dockrell, Noah Croes, Harmeet Singh, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Chris Greaves, Peter Hatzoglou, Chris Wood, Joshua Little, Matt Hollard, Craig Young.

Rotterdam Dockers: Faf du Plessis captains a side he also part owns, alongside Jonty Rhodes, John Abraham and Heinrich Klaasen. Klaasen keeps wicket and is the most destructive middle order option in the competition, having just finished a Hundred campaign with Manchester Super Giants.

Anrich Nortje leads the pace attack, David Wiese and Roelof van der Merwe bring extensive T20 experience, and Sandeep Lamichhane offers leg spin. The Dutch core of Vikramjit Singh, Logan van Beek, Michael Levitt and Saqib Zulfiqar rounds out the squad.

Key Player Battles

Ravichandran Ashwin vs Heinrich Klaasen: Ashwin’s off spin against the most destructive batter in the tournament is the contest that will decide whether Dublin can build any control in the middle overs.

James Vince vs Anrich Nortje: Vince needs runs at the top for Dublin to have any chance of a competitive total, and Nortje’s raw pace with the new ball has been difficult for every side he has faced this season.

Daryl Mitchell vs Roelof van der Merwe: Mitchell’s power against Roelof van der Merwe’s leg spin through the middle overs, on a ground where Dublin have twice struggled to build partnerships.

DG vs RD Fantasy Team

Wicketkeeper: Heinrich Klaasen (C)

Batters: Faf du Plessis, James Vince

All-rounders: George Dockrell (VC), Daryl Mitchell, David Wiese, Vikramjit Singh, Vijay Shankar, Roelof van der Merwe

Bowlers: Anrich Nortje, Chris Wood

Klaasen gets the captaincy as the most destructive batter in the fixture, with wicketkeeper dismissal points on top of runs. George Dockrell is vice captain as Dublin’s most reliable performer regardless of the side’s overall results, an allrounder who bowls his full quota and bats in the top order.

The bowling picks lean heavily towards Rotterdam, whose attack of Nortje, Lamichhane, van Beek and Wiese has been far more effective than Dublin’s this season.

Match Prediction

Rotterdam Dockers are the clear favourites. They are unbeaten, they have the deeper and more balanced squad across both batting and bowling, and Dublin Guardians have not posted a total above 150 in three attempts.

Dublin do have real quality in Ashwin, Vince and Vijay Shankar, and a result has to arrive at some point for a team with this much individual talent. But three matches without a win, and a net run rate of minus 2.372, point to deeper issues than a simple run of bad luck.

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