GT vs CSK IPL 2023 Qualifier 1: Match Prediction

Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will be eyeing a prompt entry to Final. GT had an outstanding season this year and will be eyeing their second final in a row. CSK, on the other hand, have roared back this season after their disappointing last year.

As the two teams aim to get a quicker route to Final, CSK will be hoping to maximize their home support. With the match being played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, the Yellow Army are bound to get a lot of support. GT will bank on their supreme record against CSK as they play them for the first time in Chennai.

Considering the form and squad balance of both teams, we reckon Gujarat Titans hold a certain advantage in the match. The low and slow deck of MA Chidambaram has assisted spinners all season, and with the likes of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad in the side, GT are definite favourites to win the Qualifier 1 and confirm a berth in the Final.

GT CSK Head to Head in IPL

Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings have faced 3 times. GT have won all the three meetings so far with CSK are yet to get off the mark.
