ETPL 2026: Edinburgh Rockers Beat Glasgow Cosmic by 7 Wickets

ETPL 2026, Match 16: Edinburgh Rockers cruise past Glasgow Cosmic by 7 wkts

The Rockers keep their unbeaten record intact, wrapping up Match 16 with a comfortable seven-wicket win over Glasgow Cosmic at Voorburg, Netherlands. This is now their second triumph over the rivals this season.

Glasgow bat first, fight late but fall short

Edinburgh won the toss and bowled first. Glasgow got a steady start with Jason Roy (20) and Finn Allen (9) for a 30-run opener, but momentum shifted when Tom Curran removed the captain at 72/3. Liam Livingstone (36 off 30) and especially Richie Berrington (38 off just 20, 4s×2 & 6s×3) dragged them back, but Glasgow closed on 159/6 in their 20 overs.

**McMullen's 82* seals it**

Edinburgh's chase started shakily — Ross Adair (21 off 11, 6s×3) and JJ Smuts both fell cheaply, leaving them 28/2. But that's when Andries Gous and Brandon McMullen took control with a match-turning 108-run partnership off 68 balls. Gous anchored with a solid 49 (4s×5 & 6s×1) before Lungi Ngidi had him at 136/3, but McMullen ran riot with an unbeaten 82 off 47 balls. Edinburgh finished 163/3 with six balls to spare, with Laurie Evans providing steady support at the far end.

My take (as a sports med professional):

From a player-workload angle, McMullen's quick-fire 47-ball knock and the high-intensity running between the wickets during that partnership is worth watching. Fast bowlers like Ngidi chipping in at the death also add to their over-count. Nothing alarming tdy, but I'd keep an eye on the front-liners' recovery before their next fixture.

Edinburgh remain the only unbeaten side in the ETPL — and with this kind of consistency chasing, they're setting the standard at the top.
