RTD vs DBG Betting Tips
Faf du Plessis to score over 24.5 runs
Faf du Plessis comes into this match after making 54 from 35 balls against Edinburgh Castle Rockers. He struck nine fours in that innings and has been one of Rotterdam's most reliable top-order batters during the tournament. With Rotterdam likely to get another strong batting opportunity at The Village, the 24.5-run line is within his reach if he survives the early overs.
Rotterdam Dockers to score over 165.5 runs
Rotterdam have scored 170 or more in three of their last four completed innings, including 181/6 against Edinburgh and 172/4 against Glasgow at The Village. The venue has also produced a competitive ETPL first-innings average of around 165 runs. Rotterdam's deep batting lineup, which includes Faf du Plessis, Colin Munro, Heinrich Klaasen, David Wiese and Rassie van der Dussen, gives them plenty of firepower to clear this line.
Team form (Last 5 matches)
Rotterdam Dockers
Dublin Guardians
Rotterdam Dockers arrive in Dublin with momentum after back-to-back wins earlier in the week. The batting has been powered by Faf du Plessis and Heinrich Klaasen, while Anrich Nortje and David Wiese have delivered regular wickets. This core gives Rotterdam Dockers a settled look at a pivotal stage of the league phase.
Dublin Guardians return to The Village after three losses in their last four matches. The hosts still carry match-winning quality in Craig Young and a deep all-round unit headlined by David Willey and George Dockrell. We expect a tight contest with contrasting trajectories adding spice.
Rotterdam Dockers vs Dublin Guardians Head-to-Head Record
The rivalry is in its infancy, with Dublin Guardians holding a 1-0 edge across one completed meeting in this competition. The narrow history gives Dublin Guardians a slight psychological cushion at home, while Rotterdam Dockers chase their first recorded win in this matchup.
RTD vs DBG Team Previews
Rotterdam Dockers
Rotterdam Dockers are leaning on senior batting. Faf du Plessis has 237 runs across his recent five outings, and Heinrich Klaasen adds 154 in the same span. Michael Levitt has chipped in 80 runs, while David Wiese’s 75 late-order runs have been valuable in chases.
The bowling has bite. Anrich Nortje leads with eight wickets from his recent run, backed by David Wiese with seven. Logan van Beek’s five and Jai Moondra’s four provide depth through the middle and death. The spin options are lighter on recent impact, which could matter at The Village if grip emerges.
Rotterdam Dockers Expected Playing 11
Faf du Plessis (C), Vikramjit Singh, Michael Levitt, Heinrich Klaasen (WK), David Wiese, Shubham Ranjane, Roelof Van Der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Anrich Nortje, Jai Moondra, Benjamin Manenti

Dublin Guardians
Dublin Guardians need a batting reset after three recent defeats. James Vince has 116 runs across his last four games, with Harry Tector close behind on 114 from five. Vijay Shankar’s 115 and David Willey’s 94 add middle-order steel, but the group needs a complete performance at home.
The attack is spearheaded by Craig Young, who has taken 12 wickets in his last five matches. David Willey supports with five wickets and handy powerplay spells, while George Dockrell adds control with three wickets. Joshua Little has two wickets across his recent four, and Matt Hollard contributes four, rounding out a varied seam unit.

RTD vs DBG Toss Prediction
At The Village, captains often prefer chasing due to evening dew and a generally true new-ball surface. We expect the toss winner to bowl first and back their hitters to track a target.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The Village in Dublin typically offers a fair T20 wicket with new-ball carry and some grip for spinners later. Expect 160 to be competitive, with 170-plus giving the side batting first scoreboard pressure if seamers hit hard lengths.
RTD vs DBG : Who Will Win?
We give a narrow edge to Rotterdam Dockers on current form and velocity in the pace unit. Dublin Guardians have home comfort and a firing Craig Young, but Rotterdam Dockers’ senior core looks slightly better tuned for a chasing scenario. Pro Tip: Back the stronger pace group and in-form finishers if the toss points to a chase.
Bet on Rotterdam Dockers to win.
