Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans Team Previews
Chennai Super Kings (Match Odds – 2.10)
With Ravindra Jadeja’s injury and the controversy surrounding it, MS Dhoni’s team has made headlines for the wrong runs in recent days. This hampered the team’s performance in their most recent game against the Mumbai Indians, which they lost by 5 wickets after being bowled out for 97 runs. They can’t make the playoffs from here, and Dhoni wants to reclaim his lost pride by winning this game.
Devon Conway and Ruturaj Gaikwad struggled against Mumbai, and these two players will be crucial to the team’s success as they open the batting. They had performed admirably in the previous games. Moeen Ali, Ambati Rayudu, and Robin Uthappa must all contribute experience to the middle order. With Dhoni, Shivam Dube, and Dwayne Bravo following, this batting lineup has plenty of firepower.
Mukesh Choudhary has received a lot of praise, and he and Simarjeet Singh will have to deliver early breakthroughs with the new ball. Bravo has been one of the team’s best bowlers throughout the tournament, and he will be held in high regard. As this attack lacks depth, the team would like to see good bowling from Maheesh Theekshana and Moeen Ali in this game.

Gujarat Titans (Match Odds – 1.71)
Hardik Pandya’s team is having a fantastic run in the tournament. They are the first team to advance to the next round after a 62-run victory over the Lucknow Super Giants. Their batsmen and bowlers have performed admirably in the tournament. Pandya will be looking to build momentum and confidence following their win over the Chennai Super Kings earlier in the season.
Shubman Gill has had a strong tournament and forms a formidable opening pair with Wriddhiman Saha. Pandya has performed admirably, and he hopes to form a middle-order partnership with Matthew Wade. The lower middle order has been crucial for the team, and they will look for runs from the trio of David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, and Rashid Khan, who have all looked in good touch.
Mohammad Shami bowled brilliantly in the previous game, and the team would like to see him repeat his performance while sharing the new ball with Pandya. Rashid Khan has been a thorn in the side’s side, and he joins Alzarri Joseph in the bowling attack. Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore and Yash Dayal are also expected to bowl tight spells in this game.

Pitch and Weather Conditions
Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium is one of the best T20 venues for batsmen. The pitch is flat and the outfield is lightning-fast, allowing batsmen to easily play their strokes on this surface. To be successful on this surface, fast bowlers must be smart and use their variations. Spinners can cause the ball to stop and turn sharply on the batsmen.
On May 15, Mumbai will have slightly overcast skies, which the bowlers may appreciate after the kind of hitting they have had to endure. The wicket has been a good one for batting on, with the ball hitting the bat nicely. To feel safe here, the team batting first would aim to score more than 180 runs.
Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans Match Prediction
Chennai Super Kings have been eliminated from the tournament, and the defending champions can only blame themselves. Most of their key players have failed to deliver, and the team will be looking for a better performance from them to reclaim some lost pride. Gujarat Titans have been on the other end of the spectrum and are already in the playoffs. Their form and momentum would put them in the lead in this game.

- GT has won nine of the team’s twelve games, and they are already in the tournament’s playoffs.
- CKS were bowled out for 97 runs in their previous game, and their batting appears to be in disarray.
