Get Ball by Ball Commentary of Belfast Wolves vs Amsterdam Flames, European T20 Premier League 2026, Qualifier

5.27pm That is that. Maxwell's Wolves qualify for the final, where they will meet Santner's Castle Rockers. Maxwell gets together with Tucker and celebrates. This marks the end of the road for Flames this season. Wolves chase down 134 with seven wickets and nine balls to spare. After setting up the win with a career-best 4 for 18 with the ball, he sealed it with a brace of sixes. There's no doubt as to who will be the Player of the Match.

Maxwell, Wolves captain and Player of the Match: Turned out it was receptive to spin and kept going. We had to change our tactics a bit at the back end. Halfway through the Guardians game, we were joking we might be on the plane back. It started off like a decent wicket, but as soon as spin came on, the ball seemed to react differently. We went spin-heavy and had so many options to chop and change. Game-by-game, we've been getting better and there was energy in the field. We knew we will miss Miller for the final and Chappy had a freak injury. Tector played his role and set the platform for what we do at the back end.

Scott Edwards, Flames captain: Obviously, not our best performance there and a little bit of a tricky wicket and we didn't adjust. We lost during the seven-eight over period during the middle. We felt we were 20 short of what we should've got. We would have liked 160, but it was taking turn and disappointing. I'm sure there are little bits and pieces, a couple of shots and it's tricky. We didn't play our best cricket. Proud of the boys - how we fought back from a slow start and set us up nicely. But we didn't put up our best today.

shiven: "high and handsome :) well done maxwell but honestly feeling bad for AF
