One of these two teams will be going through to the 2023 IPL final. The Super Kings have the benefit of playing this match at home with the venue predetermined.
Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings | IPL Qualifier 1 | Tuesday 23 May 2023 | MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai | 16:00
Gujarat Titans 21/20 | Tie 25/1 | Chennai Super Kings 82/100
The defending champions had already clinched their place in the qualifier when they pipped RCB on Sunday and will hope to keep their roll going through the playoffs.
Shubman Gill scored a huge ton last time out and this is a team in form all across the XI.
They have often opted against using all four of their overseas players with Indian talents driving their success.
However, when one of those overseas professionals is Rashid Khan it makes up for it as he continues to show why he is considered a T20 legend.
CSK have also found form at the right time making this contest pretty tough to pick.
They have perhaps the best opening pair in the tournament in Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway.
Ravindra Jadeja also has great utility as an allrounder who can bat in the top six or lower down.
With Moeen Ali also in that middle order, CSK have some incredible hitting power on display most of the time.
Verdict: Gujarat Titans
The Titans have the form and should be going through.
