Belfast Wolves defeat Dublin Guardians by 52 runs in ETPL 2026

The Belfast Wolves began their inaugural European T20 Premier League campaign with a convincing 52-run victory over the Dublin Guardians in their second match of the tournament. The contest, played at Sportpark Westvliet in Voorburg, Netherlands, on August 27, 2026, saw the Wolves recover from an early collapse to post a competitive total before their bowling attack dismantled the Guardians' chase. After a rain-affected start, Dublin Guardians captain Ravichandran Ashwin won the toss and elected to bowl first. The Belfast Wolves, led by captain and co-owner Glenn Maxwell, were reduced to 48 for three after an initial setback.
