Gujarat Titans lost their last match against Lucknow by 33 runs. In that match all their bowlers failed and the top order was also out early. For the first time their middle order was exposed. CSK also lost their last match against Rajasthan by 6 wickets. Ayush Mhatre made 43 and Brevis made 42 but that was not enough. Ravi Ashwin tried by taking 2 wickets but the match slipped out of our hands.
Gujarat Titans have shown balance in every area this season. The team has been consistent under the captaincy of Shubman Gill. The top order is getting fast starts and the bowlers have also played tight games. At times the middle order has come under pressure but in most matches GT has shown good control. The team is confident right in the direction of the playoffs and would like to show another win in front of the home crowd.
Chennai Super Kings' season did not reach the expected level this time. The team had to settle down in the points table. But in some matches their young players showed fight. Players like Ayush Mhatre and Brevis have shown some spark. Dhoni's experience was also useful in many matches. Now that the chance of playoffs is over, the team would like to give a strong performance for the fans. This match can be a farewell type moment for them.

If Gujarat Titans win the toss and choose to bowl first, Chennai Super Kings might score around 40 to 50 runs in the powerplay. By the end of the first innings, they could make a total of 175 to 185 runs. This target seems chaseable, and Gujarat Titans are expected to win the match in this case.
If Chennai Super Kings win the toss and decide to bowl first, then Gujarat Titans may score around 55 to 65 runs in the powerplay. Their final score could be between 195 to 205 runs. Even with this big total, Chennai Super Kings are still expected to win the match.
In both cases, Chasing Team is expected to win this match.
Sai Sudharsan has batted tremendously for GT this season. He has scored 638 runs in 13 matches, average is 53.17 and strike rate is 155.99. In the last match he scored 108* against Delhi. Before that he also scored 48 vs SRH, 39 vs RR. He is in form, has already scored 1 century and 5 fifties.
Ravindra Jadeja has done work with both bat and ball. Has taken 280 runs and 8 wickets in 13 matches. Had scored 77* against RCB. Has taken wickets against SRH, PBKS, KKR in bowling. Is an excellent utility player for Dream11. Jadeja has great numbers against Gujarat Titans in batting and bowling as well which will make him a valuable player in this match.
The pitch of Narendra Modi Stadium is such that it gets better as the match progresses. That is why chasing is quite easy here. Stats also say that batting is better in the second innings. So whichever team wins the toss and bowls first will have more chances of winning. Gujarat Titans looks a little strong with home advantage, but the chasing team will have the upper hand.
