Gujarat Titans Preview
Hardik Pandya and his men can be proud of the campaign so far. They lost their key batsman Kane Williamson to injury in the first game of the season but didn’t let it put them under pressure.
They took the lead on the points table early and have maintained it since then. The bowling attack adds an X-factor to the side, and Pandya would like to take inspiration from their
unblemished record against CSK and book a berth in the final, winning this game.

Chennai Super Kings Preview
The Super Kings come here with a massive 77-run win against the Delhi Capitals. The side hasn’t been consistent with the ball and has depended on its batters to with them games.
They play at home, and MS Dhoni would look to make full use of the home advantage and crowd support. It will be a big test for their bowlers in this game, and Dhoni would like to see his bowlers deliver a knockout punch.

Pitch Report
MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, balances it out between the batsmen and the bowlers. The ball stops on the batsmen, and spinners have enjoyed a good record. Fast bowlers get good rewards with the new ball,
but we have also seen batsmen making good scores once they get their eyes set in.
