Amsterdam Flames (ADF) will lock horns with Edinburgh Castle Rockers (ECR) in the fourth match of the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026 at Sportpark Duivesteijn in Voorburg on Friday, August 28. While ADF are searching for their first win of the tournament, ECR will look to continue their strong start after opening their campaign with a dominant victory.
Amsterdam Flames began their campaign with a five-wicket defeat against Rotterdam Dockers. After posting 157/8, Bas de Leede’s impressive 75 helped them put up a competitive total, but Faf du Plessis’ unbeaten 83 eventually guided Rotterdam to victory in the 19th over.
Edinburgh Castle Rockers, meanwhile, made an emphatic start to their ETPL campaign. They bowled Glasgow Cosmics out for just 115, with Trent Boult claiming an outstanding five-wicket haul. Ross Adair and JJ Smuts then provided a flying start in the chase before Andries Gous finished the job with an unbeaten 40.

Sportpark Duivesteijn Pitch Report
The surface at Sportpark Duivesteijn in Voorburg is expected to offer a fairly balanced contest between bat and ball. Recent matches at the venue have generally produced first-innings totals in the 150-160 range, suggesting that batters can score freely if they spend some time at the crease.
The new ball could provide some assistance to the pacers, while bowlers who maintain disciplined lengths should be able to keep the scoring under control. As the innings progresses, settled batters are likely to find better opportunities to accelerate. The captain winning the toss may prefer to bowl first, allowing the team to assess the conditions before chasing a target under the lights.
