CSK vs GT, MCA Stadium. Gujarat Titans were not one of those teams on paper that impressed. Cricket critics said that GT has a very weak batting lineup. But GT is the table topper at the moment in the IPL 2022! On the other hand, Chennai Super Kings is performing much worse than their reputation. The absence of Deepak Chahar is hurting CSK, and it is tough to replace someone like Chahar in the T20s.
CSK has found a gem in the form of Shivam Dube. Their previous top performer, Gaikwad, is still struggling to score runs. It will be an exciting contest between Shami and Gaikwad in the Powerplay. The presence of Rashid Khan threatens the whole batting lineup of CSK. Jadeja will be looking to continue the winning streak, but the GT will be a tough team to defeat for the current CSK squad.
The skipper Hardik Pandya is the backbone of GT's batting and middle order. If CSK manages to get him out early, the game will be theirs to win. The middle-order of GT may look weak on paper, but it consists of Miller, Tewatia, and Manohar, and all three are in good touch. Gurbaz will likely replace Wade, which will give the opening pair an advantage over the weaker powerplay bowling of the CSK.
