Enduring a woeful start to the campaign, Galle Gladiators fell to defeat in each of their opening five fixtures to remain rooted to the bottom of the log. Shambolic with the bat, it seemed these ones couldnt grab a win to save their lives. However, the narrative changed in their previous game against Colombo Kings, where GG rose from their ruins to record a famous eight-wicket win. That singular victory brought an end to their humiliating losing streak. Now, GG are placed fourth on the log, level on points with basement club Kandy Tuskers, but leading via their superior net run rate. In this crucial fixture against DV, they will be counting on the brilliant duo of Mohammad Amir and Ahsan Ali to propel them to victory.
Atletico started off very confidently in the Spanish Championship. Diego Simeone’s team took the lead. The mattress team have 26 points and they are one point ahead of the second Real Sociedad, but at the same time the neighbor from below played two more matches. In the last round Atl?tico beat Valladolid with a score of 2:0 for their seventh victory in a row in the domestic arena. In the Champions League things are not going so well for the mattress players. They are coming up second in the group for the last round, but Salzburg are only two points ahead, which deprives them of the right to make a mistake.
