Preview: The 59th game of the 2024 Indian Premier League would pit Chennai Super Kings (CSK) against Gujarat Titans (GT). For GT to advance in the tournament, they will need to win this game. They currently have very little chance of qualifying for the postseason, and if they lose this game, they will have none at all. Conversely, in order to guarantee that they are significantly ahead of other teams in the playoff race, the reigning champions must secure a victory. Numerous teams positioned beneath them in the table remain competitive.
DC, LSG, RCB, and PBKS have the potential to make the playoffs if specific results occur. As a result, CSK must win by a large margin in order to continue their winning streak in the league. The match between GT and CSK is scheduled for May 10 at 7:30 p.m. (IST) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Given their team composition, CSK will be the odds-on favorite to win the match. GT has one of the weakest teams on paper, and winning will require inspiring performances from the individual players.CSK won by a large margin the last time these two teams met at Chepauk. Shivam Dube and Rachin Ravindra’s contributions helped CSK defeat GT by more than 60 runs. The reigning champions will face GT in their own backyard, therefore they must deliver a similar performance. Both teams contested the IPL 2023 final at the same site. CSK won the dramatic final with the final delivery to win their sixth IPL title. GT needs to come up and put up a fight against CSK.

Venue: Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad
Date & Time: Friday, May 10, 7:30 PM
Pitch Report: The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad will host the game between GT and CSK. For bowlers, the wicket at Ahmedabad has shown to be the best to bowl. There is a little bit more bounce and early swing available for the pacers. There is some grip and turn on the spinners. The hitters must hit strange boundaries and spin their strike. Because of the dew issue, the team that wins the toss would really like to bowl first.
