Chennai Super Kings have been flop in this IPL and they know that, they are playing for pride here.

CSK are currently ninth in the points table after 12 games with 8 points.

Chennai’s batting needs to click in this game and if it can it will create problems for Gujarat. Bowling wise they need to click as well with a little bit of inexperience.

CSK won their games against RCB, MI, SRH & DC. While they lost to KKR, LSG, PBKS (2), SRH, GT, RCB & MI.

On the other hand, Gujarat Titans have been the hit team of the tournament thus far and are favourites to clinch the title. They will give their all to win this match.

GT are currently first in the points table after 12 games with 18 points.

Gujarat’s batting have been good and it’s the mater of them clicking on the day and they will be away. Bowling wise they have some reliable options with fresh faces.

GT have won so far against, LSG (2), DC, PBKS, RR, CSK, KKR, SRH & RCB. They lost their games to  SRH, PBKS & MI.
