With that we close our coverage for this game. Thank you for joining us. This is a double derby day at the ETPL so hop over to the Amsterdam vs Rotterdam scorecard and join in on the fun.
Mitchell Santner, the Edinburgh captain, says the guys know what their roles are. Conditions have changed a little bit and we've adapted when we needed to. At the start, you're feeling it out as captain. You want guys to be confident with their plans. I'll chip in if its not a great plan. With the bat, I think it's just being real clear and playing what's in front of us. You wanna give everyone a go when you can. Conditions could change in Malahide. Could be the same team again. I dunno yet. But you wanna keep everyone involved as much as you can.
Brandon McMullen is Player of the Match. The 26-year-old says the key for his innings was a bit of luck. Just trying to stick to the way I play, watch the ball, play late and put pressure on the bowlers as soon as possible. With T20 cricket, if you go into your shell, you're going to put yourself in trouble. So I just try to express myself as best as I can, obviously situations based. We have a good recipe in the squad, good environment and hopefully we can keep the momentum in Ireland
George Munsey, the Glasgow captain, says the boys scrapped quite well. Edinburgh bowled well. We recovered well but only got a bit of a below par score. The pitch played a little bit easier in the second innings but not enough to make a difference. I can't fault the guys efforts. We've got a lot of experience. We're trying our best, we're trying hard, but we're not putting the perfect game together.
That's as comfortable as it gets for Edinburgh Castle Rockers who take the derby with a seven wicket win. Brandon McMullen made 82 off 47 in a chase of 160 and very rarely did he look like he was getting out. The decisions he took at the crease were right more often than not. The execution was, at times, extraordinary like when he front-foot drove a back of a length ball from the very tall van Meekeren to the long-off boundary. "His off side play is silky," says Andy Flower on commentary and he's absolutely right. Against that kind of class, with such little scoreboard pressure to work with, Glasgow did not have a sniff. Still Lungi Ngidi (1-37) and Oliver Davidson (2-31) tried their best.
