Edinburgh Castle Rockers (ECR) take on Belfast Wolves (BFW) in the Final of the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026 at The Village in Dublin on Sunday, September 20.

The Edinburgh side have been the team to beat in the tournament this season, and rightfully took their place in the final after finishing at the top of the table with 13 points from 10 matches and a significantly superior net run rate. They will be looking to seal their dominant run with the trophy.

The Wolves made their way to the final after securing a dominant seven-wicket victory over the Amsterdam Flames, chasing down a paltry total of 134 after bundling the Flames out. They will be looking to carry this momentum into the final and return with the title in hand.

The Village, Dublin: Pitch Report

The Village in Dublin has offered a balanced surface throughout the tournament, helping both batters and bowlers. Batters can play their shots on the up, but will have to get their eye in before scoring big. Bowlers can get lateral movement early with the new ball, while spinners can get grip and turn as the ball gets older. Slower balls, cutters, and bowling into the surface could help seamers later as the ball gets older.
