We have reached the finale of the IPL 2023 and now the final two teams, Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans will come face to face in the hope of lifting the trophy of the 16th season of IPL. The final game is scheduled for Sunday at Narendra Modi Stadium Ground, Ahmedabad. We expect one of the most thrilling fixtures of all time between the two teams.
Chennai Super Kings reached the final game after defeating Gujarat Titans in the first playoffs. They will be confident enough to face them again in the last game.
Gujarat Titans have an opportunity to lift their second consecutive IPL trophy this year. The Titans won the Indian Premier League in their debut season last year and stunned everyone. The top bookmakers have IPL odds with them.
There are indications that IPL season 16 is the final season of MS Dhoni and CSK will be motivated to end their captainβs IPL run by lifting the trophy. CSK has already defeated GT in the playoffs and they will be confident enough to repeat the same result. Deepak Chahar will be in the spotlight again because of his ability to swing the ball during the power play. Gaikwad and Conway have an excellent equation going on and we will expect them to give a solid start to CSK.
MS Dhoni will make sure that he has the best combination of players for the final game.
Predicted Lineup: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana
Gujarat Titans were shocked after facing a defeat against CSK in the 1st playoff. However, they scored a big win against the Mumbai Indians in the second playoff and cemented their position for the final game. Mohammed Shami will be the key player for GT as he is consistent with his performance and has been responsible for giving timely breakthroughs. Shubman Gill scored a century again in the previous game and will be expected to repeat a similar performance.
Rashid Khan and Mohit Sharma will be in the spotlight because of their brilliant performance in recent fixtures.
Predicted Lineup: Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya (c), David Miller, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Mohit Sharma, Noor Ahmad, Mohammed Shami
Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans are two evenly-matched teams. They have performed exceptionally well in the 16th season of IPL. However, GT has the upper hand, as they have performed much better than CSK. We predict a win for GT in the final game of IPL 2023.
