ETPL 2026: Edinburgh Rockers Beat Glasgow Cosmic by 7 Wickets

By Pramit Meher

**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. Source: Cricketnmore
