THE LOWDOWN
GUJARAT TITANS
- For the second season running, Gujarat Titans racked up 20 points across the league stage, topping the table at the end of play which of course led to them going on and winning the 2022 IPL, but will history repeat itself in 2023?
- They head into the play-offs on the back of knocking out Royal Challengers Bangalore thanks to an unbeaten Shubman Gill century, the young price outstanding the king of Bengaluru, Virat Kohli.
CHENNAI SUPER KINGS
- Despite finishing second-place in the league, Chennai Super Kings will have the benefit of home advantage in this encounter with both the first qualifier and the eliminator being played in Chepauk before the play-offs move to Ahmedabad for the second qualifier and final.
- CSK sealed their place in the top two comprehensively, dominating from the outset against Delhi Capitals batting first, racking up 223/3 before restricting the Capitals to just 146/9, winning by 77 runs.
THE PREDICTION
Gujarat Titans will understandably come into this match as favourites to advance straight through to the final after another dominating league campaign, but this contest poses some serious challenges. Both teams have won three of their most recent four IPL fixtures, but you have to go all the way back to the very first game of the season for the last time these two locked horns, the Titans winning by five wickets in Ahmedabad. The match being played in Chepauk should give Chennai Super Kings a genuine advantage and with a day’s extra rest time also in their favour, backing CSK to surprise the league winners and get the better of them may well be the smart play.
