Valladolid spent more than forty seasons in the Spanish Premier League, where they finished fourth in 1963, which is the team’s highest achievement so far. “Pusela” reached the final of the Cup of the country twice, but so far all to no avail. Last year the “white-violet” took the final 13th place, which was a success for the team, which in the previous season fought for survival in the elite. The start of the new championship cannot be called successful for hosts. Sergio Gonzalez’s wards won two wins and four draws after 12 rounds of the 2020/21 tournament, which brought 10 points and 19th place in the relegation zone. In November the team had a good stretch, when, following the defeat from Villarreal (0:2) they managed to win two victories over Athletic (2:1) and Granada (3:1). On the 27th Valladolid shared the tournament points with Levante (1:1), but started December with a defeat to Atl?tico (0:2). In this fight today’s owners did not concede in any way in terms of statistical indicators, but the technique and implementation failed. In today’s game Guardiola Navarro, Orellana and Kiko, who has a knee injury will not be able to enter the field .
Another struggling side, Kandy Tuskers can count themselves lucky to have booked a ticket to the next round of the competition. Having spent large portions of the season in fifth place, a late resurgence has seen KT rise up the table. The coach making the right call in the previous game against high-flying Jaffna Stallions, the inclusion of legendary pacer Dale Steyn to the squad helped the teams cause. Despite enduring a slow start to the game; Steyn, Pradeep and Fernando rose to the occasion to lead KT to success. This trio combined brilliantly to post a staggering 150 runs over 20 overs. All-rounder Asela Gunaratne enjoyed a wonderful game, delivering a match-winning performance. Handling the bat expertly, he closed the innings with 52 runs off 37 balls.
