Table toppers Gujarat Titans will step into their home venue, i.e., the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, in a quest to remain among the top two sides on the points table. They will next face the bottom-placed Chennai Super Kings, who will be playing their final game of the season and would want to finish on a high with a win here. The Titans find themselves in a precarious position after a demeaning loss to LSG in their last encounter. They need to win this encounter to stay in contention of a top 2 finish on the points table.
Chennai Super Kings’ disastrous IPL 2025 season will finally come to an end with this match. The team lacked in every facet of the game as they failed to adapt to the evolving T20 standards. The team, however, got some good young players thanks to the crisis they had early on. Injury replacements like Urvil Patel, Ayush Mhatre, and Dewald Brevis stood tall for CSK’s cause, but it was too late, as CSK had already taken the tough pills to swallow. After a disappointing season this time around, CSK will look to return stronger in the next season.
Let’s delve deeper into this post for the GT vs CSK Dream11 prediction.
Date: 24th May 2025 Time: 3:30 PM IST Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Matches Played: 7 CSK won: 3 GT won: 4 No Result: 0 Tied: 0
Out of the seven encounters, Gujarat Titans hold a slight edge with four wins, while Chennai Super Kings have emerged victorious three times. Their recent clashes have tilted in GT’s favor, as they’ve won two of the last three meetings, showcasing their dominance in this matchup.
The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, is expected to favor batters early on, providing good bounce and carry. However, as the match progresses, spinners could come into play, especially with the surface offering variable bounce. A par score is likely to be around 190, making it crucial for teams to assess conditions before deciding whether to bat or bowl first.
With warm and dry weather expected, the match should see a full 40-over contest, without interruptions. The evening conditions might bring some relief from the heat. GT will look to capitalize on their home advantage, while CSK’s experienced lineup will aim to adapt to the conditions quickly. Expect a high-intensity battle between two well-balanced teams.
