That's all from us at Cricinfo today. Thank you for joining us. See you soon for more ETPL action.
Winning captain, Ashwin: "Happy to be here. Losing can also be a habit like winning. Today felt like the right day - home ground. We also hit the stumps a lot more. Trying to make good decisions wit the ball. Omarzai was supposed to come, David has just joined us. He's played a lot of cricket, he's a good ally for bowlers at mid-off and mid-on. With Vince an Willey around, we are in a better spot. We firmly believe that a well-knit unit is the most powerful combination."
Craig Young, player of the match: "That's the way T20 goes. Have to put in the right areas irrespective."
Losing captain, Maxwell: "We didn't adapt to the conditions and they did. We've got three opportunities in the next four days to turn it around. We have to be smart with our squad list."
Here's a look at the points table after that match.
Celebrations for the Dublin Guardians, winning at home and ending their streak of five defeats. R Ashwin's side wiin by eight wickets, get a big NRR boost, and finally have something to celebrate. Belfast Wolves' NRR will take a big hit. Remember, the league topper makes the final and the next two teams take part in a single semi-final for a spot in the final. Plenty of time to go in this tournament but a defeat like this can derail a unit.
Five wickets for Young today, and then the pair of Willey and Mitchell with the bat ensured there were no scares in this low chase.
Shadow-Shell: "Dublin finally tasting victory. Can they change their livh around now that they're home?" -- They'd surely believe so. Lots of work to do, though.
