Titans vs CSK Predicted Lineups & Team News


Gujarat Titans: Kagiso Rabada and Shubman Gill are both performing at optimum level and the Titans will be looking for them to lead the side to a win that will leave them with two chances to hit the final. 

Possible XI: Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler, Jason Holder, Washington Sundar,  Nishant Sindhu, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj.

Chennai Super Kings: The Super Kings have been struggling for form, with just one score above 44 in their last two matches (both defeats), while their bowlers have taken just eight wickets in those two matches.

Titans vs CSK Analysis


The last match at Ahmedabad saw the Titans post a lower than average score of 168/5 off their 20 overs, but they rolled the Sunrisers for just 86 runs in under 15 overs.

The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is known to be a batting paradise, with consistent pace and bounce, with good strokeplay rewarded by a speedy outfield. The track has tended to slow down somewhat in recent weeks in the latter stages of the match, which presents a challenge to batters and levels the contest out for the bowlers, even with the expected evening dew.

Average scores at the stadium hover around 185, with a lower number of sixes due to the large boundaries. The Titans hit just four sixes in their last match at the stadium, against the Sunrisers, who themselves hit four sixes despite being rolled for under 100.

Verdict

The Titans are backed to win, with Kagiso Rabada my pick to take more than one wicket.

Sai Sudharsan is backed to score 35 runs or more, with Sanju Samson our pick to be the best Super Kings batter.
