Gujarat, on the other hand, have been outstanding this season with bat and ball and have a strong spin attack for the conditions, so much so that they are favourites at Chennai’s fortress at Chepauk. The form of Shubman Gill and the batting group is a huge plus on an already outrageous bowling attack that has swept teams away. Gujarat Titans have odds of 1.87 to beat Chennai Super Kings.
Head-to-head record, GT vs CSK
The head-to-head record is based on three games, two in 2022, and one this season in Ahmedabad. Gujarat Titans have won all three matches against Chennai, but this game in Chepauk could be their biggest test yet against MS Dhoni’s men.
Toss prediction
The conditions will play a huge role in this big clash of IPL 2023 and at Chepauk, the spin paradise, expect teams to opt to bat first with spin playing a bigger role later as the pitch wears out.
Win probability
Gujarat Titans are in form after two huge wins to end their league stage and have a higher win probability of 55%, a slender edge despite the fact that they will be up against a strong Chennai side at home.
Average score
This season at the Chepauk, the scores have been marginally higher, although with the progress of the tournament that has gone down. The first three matches saw high totals, but in the last four matches, the pitch and spinners have come into their own with the average first innings score going down to below 150.
Pitch and conditions
The pitch at the venue is generally good for batting despite the aid spinners have, but it gets tougher as the game goes on with the wear and tear bringing spinners into play more.
