RD vs GC Fantasy Prediction, 19th Match: Rotterdam Dockers vs Glasgow Cosmic Fantasy Team, Playing XI, Pitch Report, ETPL 2026

Rotterdam Dockers have cooled after an unbeaten start, losing two of their last three, while Glasgow Cosmic have lost four of their last five and remain second bottom of the table. The two sides met once already this season, and the result offers a real lesson: captains Faf du Plessis and Heinrich Klaasen both failed cheaply, dismissed by the same bowler, while less heralded batters Michael Levitt and Ben McDermott actually won the match for Rotterdam. This previous result could be an important factor to consider while building the RD vs GC Fantasy Team for the upcoming clash.

Recent Form

Rotterdam Dockers have won three of their last five, but their form has dipped recently. They lost to Amsterdam Flames, chasing 178 and falling short at 176/6, and were bowled out for just 93 in a heavy defeat to Edinburgh Castle Rockers. Before that they had won three straight, including a five wicket win over these same Glasgow Cosmic, restricting them to 140/9 through Anrich Nortje’s 3 for 20 and David Wiese’s 3 for 29, then chasing it down through Michael Levitt’s 37 and Ben McDermott’s unbeaten 37, with du Plessis and Klaasen both dismissed cheaply by Paul van Meekeren.

Glasgow Cosmic have lost four of their last five. Edinburgh Castle Rockers chased down 159 in 19 overs, Belfast Wolves beat them in a reduced 12 over match, and Amsterdam Flames chased 171 to win by seven wickets, George Munsey’s 67 not enough. Their only win in that stretch came against Dublin Guardians, and the defeat to Rotterdam remains their most recent meeting with this exact opponent.

Key Player Battles

Liam Livingstone vs Anrich Nortje: Livingstone top scored with 54 the last time these sides met, and Nortje’s pace, having taken 3 for 20 in that same match, gives Rotterdam their most direct route to stopping him again.

Faf du Plessis vs Paul van Meekeren: Van Meekeren dismissed both du Plessis and Klaasen cheaply in the reverse fixture, so this is a rematch worth watching for Rotterdam’s captain specifically.

Michael Levitt vs Oliver Davidson: Levitt’s 37 was central to Rotterdam’s chase last time out, and Davidsonj’s left arm spin through the middle overs is Glasgow’s clearest route to slowing him down.

RD vs GC Fantasy Team

Wicketkeepers: Heinrich Klaasen, Ben McDermott

Batters: Michael Levitt, George Munsey, Jason Roy

All-rounders: Liam Livingstone (VC), David Wiese, Oliver Davidson, Roelof van der Merwe

Bowlers: Anrich Nortje (C), Lungi Ngidi

Nortje is captain based on his proven record against this exact opponent, 3 for 20 in the reverse fixture, rather than reputation alone. Livingstone is vice captain as Glasgow’s standout individual performer in that same match, top scoring with 54 even in a losing effort, making him the clearest batting threat on the Glasgow side regardless of the team result.

Michael Levitt and Ben McDermott are included ahead of assuming du Plessis and Klaasen are automatic picks, since both South African stars were dismissed cheaply by Paul van Meekeren last time these sides met, while Levitt and McDermott were the ones who actually delivered the chase.

Match Prediction

Rotterdam Dockers have the head to head record and won the reverse fixture, though their recent form has cooled with defeats in two of their last three matches, including being bowled out for 93 against Edinburgh Castle Rockers.

Glasgow Cosmic have lost four of their last five and have struggled to find consistency, though Liam Livingstone’s form against this exact opponent, a 54 in the last meeting, offers some hope of a response.

Rotterdam Dockers get the edge given the head to head record and their generally deeper squad, though Glasgow’s Livingstone remains a real threat capable of changing the complexion of the match on his own.
