RECENT PERFORMANCE
TEAMS PREVIEW
Gujarat Titans Preview
Gujarat Titansβ hopes of remaining in the top two took a hit with their loss to Lucknow Super Giants. Now, they not only need to win this one, but also need other results to swing their way. That defeat aside, Gujarat have been one of the more reliable sides in IPL 2025, rarely making big mistakes. Even when theyβve lost, theyβve kept things competitive and never completely fallen apart.
GT have looked sorted across all departments, the last match being a rare off-day for their bowlers. Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler have all been in top gear at the top of the order, each crossing the 500-run mark for the season. Their consistency has played a big part in Gujaratβs strong run, and at least one of them is always in the game.
Down the order, Rutherford has been quietly effective with 267 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 161. And with Shahrukh Khan smashing 59 off 27 in the last game, Gujarat now have another option who can step in if things donβt go right up top.
With the ball, Gujarat have kept things tight overall. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have a combined haul of 36 wickets, and Sai Kishore has chipped in with 16 while going at under 9 per over. These three have been the pillars of GT’s bowling this year. Siraj has made early inroads, while Kishore has kept it tidy through the middle. Rashidβs season has been a bit hit-and-miss, and Kagiso Rabada hasnβt really found his groove since coming back.
Chennai Super Kings Preview
Chennai Super Kings are staring down their worst-ever IPL finish. With just 6 points from 13 games and a horrible NRR of -1.030, even a win in their final outing is unlikely to lift them off the bottom and get past Rajasthan Royals, who possess a better NRR. Thatβs uncharted territory for the five-time champs.
Still, there are a few bright spots theyβll want to carry forward. Ayush Mhatre and Urvil Patel have brought some much-needed spark at the top of the order. The young duo plays with an edge and fearlessness thatβs injected a bit of life into this struggling batting unit.
Dewald Brevis has also been a solid pickup. The 22-year-old from South Africa has hammered 168 runs in five outings for CSK, striking at 164.70. His short but impactful knocks in the middle have given the innings a bit of punch when itβs been needed most.
Shivam Dube has been their steadiest contributor with the bat, putting up 340 runs across 13 innings at a strike rate just under 130. But CSK couldβve done with him closing out a few more games β his inability to do that has cost them.
Their bowling, meanwhile, has been all over the place. Khaleel Ahmedβs done a fair job, taking 14 wickets in 13 matches with an economy rate of 9.84. Noor Ahmad has been the most reliable, though, with 21 wickets in 13 innings at 8.41. The rest havenβt done much. Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja havenβt kept runs down or picked up breakthroughs, while Matheesha Pathirana, despite taking wickets, has been leaking far too many runs.
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has been great for T20 cricket β itβs a solid surface for batters, but thereβs also enough in it for fast bowlers and those who rely on slower deliveries. Scoring tends to slow down in the second half as the pitch begins to lose a bit of pace, but overall, it remains a good place for batting.
Expect hot and dry conditions in Ahmedabad, with no rain on the radar.
GT vs CSK Pitch Report
The average first innings score at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, is 178. In the previous match played at the venue, Lucknow Super Giants blasted 235-2 on the board against Gujarat Titans β the highest total here in this IPL. In this match, expect both teams to target a first innings score of around 200-210 runs to feel safe about their chances.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first have come out on top in five of the six IPL 2025 games held at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. That pattern could push both captains to take the same approach in this match.
