Match Preview
Gujarat Titans enter the home fixture looking to rebound from a heavy defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders, where they failed to chase down a daunting target of 248. Despite that setback, previous results guaranteed their knockouts progress. They will look to replicate their performance from April, when an unbeaten 87 from Sai Sudharsan guided GT to an eight-wicket victory over Chennai.
Chennai Super Kings are under immense pressure following a disappointing five-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad at Chepauk. Having failed to defend 181 runs in their last outing, CSK's qualification destiny is no longer entirely in their own hands. Along with securing a comprehensive victory in Ahmedabad tonight, they require other mathematical permutations to swing in their favour over the final week of league play.
