Belfast captain Maxwell says it was a complete performance. Both captains were unsure what the conditions will be like, how much it'll spin. Tucker was brilliant. Chapman was outstanding. They got us to a total we were really comfortable with and the bowlers did the job. As a batting group we did a good job yesterday and be a bit more proactive once we assessed the pitch. Manenti did that today. He set up the middle order. They'll be flexible with the batting order based on the opponents. Maxwell wanted to give Chapman the ideal scenario to go out and just hit out. So eight overs to go was perfect for him. The brilliant thing about Lorcan is he hasn't changed his attitude from the first game. He's kept his chin up. He's training hard. The whole Wolves family are really behind him and are proud of the effort he's putting in. Field placements doesn't always work. Getting an idea of the conditions and the batters is key. Then the bowlers need to execute. Just really proud of that complete performance.
Matt Humpreys is named Player of the Match. He says there was a lot of assistance for the spinners out there. And with the new ball, you can get some swing, especially with the arm ball. Belfast have been messing around with the batters by changing their field, he says. The pitches are tiring. It's weird. People don't think the ball spins here but it really does. Livingstone caught behind was his favourite wicket.
Glasgow captain Munsey says it's a tough result. We weren't quite there today. They played really well. They got an over par score there. Chapman struck the ball really nicely and got them ahead of the game. When you're chasing a total like that, you need to go from ball one and it didn't work out for us. Maybe the pitch took a bit more turn in the second innings. But it comes down the pressure and we couldn't capitalise. We got a good group, got a lot of skill there, we go away for a few days, have a think and come back for the last game and hopefully have some fun
Oliver Davidson picked up a lower back injury while trying to field a ball off his own bowling so he can't bat which means this game is done. Belfast Wolves have picked up a comfortable victory and go to second place, past Rotterdam Dockers, both on 11 points. Edinburgh Castle Rockers are the only team with more points. Fine back-end batting from Mark Chapman and highly disciplined left-arm spin from Matthew Humpreys were the key contributions.
