DNG vs ECR Match Details — Match 21

Dublin Guardians (DNG) will face Edinburgh Castle Rockers (ECR) in Match 21 of the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026 on Friday, September 11, at The Village in Malahide, Dublin. Dublin Guardians finally got a win in their last game, bowling out Belfast Wolves for 107 before chasing the target down, and they'll be looking to build on that first taste of victory. Craig Young's five-wicket haul in that game played a significant role in the comeback, and the hosts will hope the bowlers can repeat the feat.

Meanwhile, the Edinburgh Castle Rockers continue to be the standout team in ETPL 2026. They are unbeaten after six matches, with five wins and one draw, and lead the table with an impressive net run rate. Dublin has already lost the only previous meeting between these two teams this season, and Edinburgh's all-around strength makes them clear favorites once more, even against a Dublin side buoyed by their first victory.
