Glasgow Cosmic will look to build momentum in the European T20 Premier League (ETPL) 2026 when they take on Belfast Wolves in Match 13 at Sportpark Westvliet, Voorburg, on September 4. The contest is scheduled to begin at 3:15 PM local time, or 6:45 PM IST.

Glasgow have assembled a squad packed with international experience, with the likes of George Munsey, Jason Roy, Liam Livingstone, Richie Berrington, Keshav Maharaj, Lungi Ngidi and Paul van Meekeren providing quality across departments. Their latest completed fixture, against Rotterdam Dockers, saw them field a largely settled XI despite suffering a five-wicket defeat. Glasgow will therefore be tempted to retain the same combination against Belfast. 

Here is the predicted Glasgow Cosmic playing XI for Match 13 of ETPL 2026

1. George Munsey (C)

George Munsey is expected to continue opening the innings and leading the side. The Scotland international is one of the most destructive batters in the Glasgow squad and can put pressure on the opposition during the Powerplay.

Munsey’s experience in T20 cricket makes him a key figure at the top, particularly against a Belfast attack that contains experienced seamers such as Chris Jordan and Fred Klaassen.

2. Jason Roy

Jason Roy should continue alongside Munsey at the top of the order. The England batter provides the explosive intent Glasgow need during the first six overs.

Roy has the ability to take the game away from an opposition attack quickly, and his experience in franchise cricket could prove invaluable as Glasgow look to improve their batting output.

3. Liam Livingstone

Liam Livingstone is likely to retain the No. 3 position. The England all-rounder offers enormous six-hitting ability and can also contribute useful overs with his part-time spin.

His role becomes even more important if Glasgow lose an early wicket, as Livingstone can both rebuild and accelerate depending on the match situation.

4. Richie Berrington

Richie Berrington should occupy the middle order and remains one of Glasgow’s most experienced players. The Scotland captain brings stability and power to the batting unit.

Berrington has already shown encouraging form during the tournament, and his ability to handle pressure in the middle overs makes him an important component of the Cosmics’ batting strategy.

5. Moises Henriques

Moises Henriques is expected to continue as the No. 5 all-rounder. The experienced Portuguese-Australian provides balance to the side and gives Munsey an additional seam-bowling option.

With several explosive batters above him, Henriques’ role could be to steady the innings before launching an attack in the final overs.

6. Matthew Cross (WK)

Matthew Cross is likely to retain the wicketkeeping gloves. The Scotland wicketkeeper-batter offers experience behind the stumps and is capable of playing useful cameos in the lower middle order.

His position also gives Glasgow flexibility, allowing the more aggressive batters to attack while Cross focuses on strike rotation and finishing.

7. Michael Leask

Michael Leask should continue at No. 7. The Scotland all-rounder is known for his aggressive batting and can provide useful off-spin when required.

Leask’s ability to clear the boundary makes him an important player during the closing overs, especially if Glasgow need a late surge towards a competitive total.

8. Keshav Maharaj

Keshav Maharaj is expected to lead the spin department. The South African left-arm spinner brings international experience and considerable control to the middle overs.

Maharaj’s ability to restrict scoring while creating pressure could be particularly useful against Belfast’s powerful batting unit, which includes Glenn Maxwell and David Miller.

9. Paul van Meekeren

Paul van Meekeren should retain his place after producing an outstanding performance against Rotterdam Dockers. The Netherlands quick claimed three wickets in that game, finishing with figures of 3/21 from four overs.

His variations and experience bowling at the death make him one of Glasgow’s most important pace options.

10. Ali Khan

Ali Khan is likely to continue as another frontline seamer. The USA international brings raw pace and aggression to the attack and can be particularly effective when bowling in the Powerplay.

Glasgow will need him to make early breakthroughs against Belfast’s dangerous top order.

11. Lungi Ngidi

Lungi Ngidi should complete the bowling attack. The South African pacer has already demonstrated his value in the competition, combining accuracy with variations throughout his spells.

Against Belfast’s array of power-hitters, Ngidi’s ability to vary his pace and execute yorkers at the death could prove decisive.
