Pandya, Miller and Tewatia were the biggest flop yesterday. Each of them contributed a single digit to the scoreboard. 172 was not that easy under those humid condition to chase. Pandya after winning the toss got overconfident and choose to bowl first. In my opinion they should have batted first and defended the target. They still have a another chance but if MI win today then I won't be surprised if GT loses the match against them.

The rot started with the openers. They were too slow to begin with. None of the top-5 batsmen had a strike rate of more than 115, which was way below the required rate. In the end Rashid Khan tried to boost the scoring rate, but then it was too late. It surprises me that a team such as Gujarat, which tops the points table during the group phase struggled to score runs against ordinary bowlers like Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande and Maheesh Theekshana. Ravindra Jadeja had figures of 4-0-18-2, with an economy rate of 4.50.

I have to agree. Hardik Pandya and the rest of the Gujarat players became a bit complacent after they managed to restrict Chennai Super Kings to 172/7. Perhaps they were expecting to chase a total of 180-200, and were surprised when they managed to pick some quick wickets towards the end. Gujarat Titans started quite slowly, and apart from Shubman Gill no one made any significant contributions. At the end of 10th over, the required run rate had already climbed to more than 10 runs per over. And the selection policy was confusing for GT. I don't understand why Dasun Shanaka was selected ahead of Josh Little.

This was a little unexpected. That target was not certainly something that was not achievable by GT. If they started to keep up with the run rate I think they could have actually got the win. They actually have a good setup because if they can continue performing well from the top order they can rely on Rashid Khan to smash some in the end. But they have just put a little too much to do for the late order batsmen. And of course, they did not win. I will say this was actually a careless performance from Gujarat.

Qualifier 1 : Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans
Chennai Super Kings - 172/7
Gujarat Titans - 157
Chennai Super Kings won the match by 15 runs

GT won the toss and decided to bowl. CSK had good start, as the openers Gaikwad scored 60 runs and Conway scored 40 runs.
For Gujarat Titans Shami and Sharma took two wickets each with the best economy of 7 & 7.25 rpo.

With 172 as target Gujarat Titans started the innings. As usual it was Shubman Gill who scored 42 runs. Not much of runs came from batsman. At the end Rashid Khan was playing good and increased the pressure on CSK. Finally Deshpande took the wicket at 30 runs. Gujarat Titans ended the innings at 157 runs losing every wicket at the end of 20th over.

CSK has performed reliably in this match so far. They would certainly like to close this match out with a comfortable win from now on. The target was not very big. The problem is GT has not been able to keep wickets in hand. They have lost wickets at regular intervals. And to be honest they technically only have one wicket left.
Gujarat hasn't lost the match for continuously losing their wickets only. The top-order batsman played slowly, their strike rate wasn't enough to chase the target. Rashid Khan and Vijay Shankar (impact player) were the last hope for GT, but there was no hope for GT when their partnership was broken. Gujarat Titans had started this IPL season by winning against CSK, then they played like a king in the group stage matches. But they couldn't confirm the entry for the final yet by losing the first playoff against CSK.

fantastic Smiley, CSK was able to win the match by 15 runs in the end. I always thought that in this tournament GT is going to have the best chance of winning the IPL title. But now that has certainly changed. Right now I am thinking that CSK is the best team in this IPL season and they are going to win the IPL trophy.

I have to say that I agree with you on the fact that GT did not keep up with the required run rate. Only the strike rate of Rashid Khan was good in this match. Other than That everyone was average in this match from GT.

Too bad for Gujarat Titans as the top of the points table lost the qualifier match. I think Chennai Super Kings went down as the opening batsmen but there was a chance of 1 wicket fall for 5 runs but due to Noball and Chennai Super Kings having the best batsman the wicket survived the fall. As a result, Chennai Super Kings managed to score more runs and Ruturaj managed to score the most runs in this match. Gujarati Titans felt failed in this place and the fall of wickets was high from the start due to which Gujarati Titans lost this match. And Chennai Super Kings enter the final with the chance to take on another third-placed team, Gujarat Titans.

Congratulations to Chennai Super Kings, as they reached the final with a win in Qualifier 1 and with this victory, the excitement among the IPL fans has also increased. Everyone had a different view of the team. MS Dhani didn't get more run today but under his leadership Chennai Super Kings once again made it to the final directly. There is a possibility of win IPL again to their name in this tournament.

Tomorrow's match is very important where two good teams Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians will fight. Can't say anyone can be the 2023 champion from two.

Today everyone's expectations were correct. CSK secured IPL 2023 final by defeating Gujarat Titans by 15 runs in today's match. How to win with a capital of only 172 runs is possible for Dhoni. Today I was watching Dhoni's captaincy in this match very carefully and he took wickets at the time when the team needed wickets through bowling changes.  The way he used the bowlers is undoubtedly commendable.  Those who watched today's complete match will surely appreciate Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy. Now it is to be seen which team will be the opponent of CSK. Three teams are still likely to be CSK's opponents in the final.

So far not a good situation for Gujrat, they keep losing wickets and the required run rate only going up.
3d player Shankar and Ice man Tewatia are still there but 75 runs of 35 balls equation looks dicey.
----------
Edit
Lol Tewatia gone and i reckon match as well, unless some blinder inning comes to rescue in death overs.

GT has only 2 wickets in hand. It is looking very hard for them to achieve a victory in this match against CSK. Right now they need 31 runs from 10 balls. That definitely seems impossible with only two wickets in hand.

Mumbai Indians finished the game and they scored 172 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. Excellent batting performance Mumbai Indians batsmen especially Ruturaj Gaikwad's style of play was very good. In today's match I thought Mumbai Indians will score 200 plus runs but it was not possible. Gujarat Titans bowlers bowled brilliantly and got wickets every one. In today's match, Mohammed Shami and Mohit Sharma both took two wickets and Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad and Darshan Nalkande took one wicket each. Both batting and bowling were to watch in today's match but now Gujarat Titans will start their innings. If Gujarat wins today's match, they must do well and score 173 runs to secure the semi-final.

CSK might reach something close to 175 thanks to Rayudu and Jadeja slowing down the scoring rate. GT has the upper hand unless they fall like dominoes against CSK's bowling lineup.

I want to change your prediction a little bit I want to see Mumbai Indians instead of LSG. Yes and CSK can clinch the trophy for the fifth time with a win against Mumbai Indians in the final match. This is entirely my own opinion.
This is another great prediction since it would basically imply battle of the legends. CSK vs MI always attracts a ton of attention globally which is why I wouldn't mind if these two teams played in the finals at all.

LSG is the dark horse throughout this season which is why I feel that they can make it to the finals somehow.
172 target given by Chennai Super Kings which is not a difficult one for teams life Gujarat Titans,  if Shubman Gill will stay longer on crease he'll chase this all Alone .CSK has to focus on their balling now if they want to continue their journey in IPL.

Bro morale worale type ki bhi cheez hoti hai Grin

Whichever team loses today will get demoralised for sure. Then after their performance would hampre.  Do not underestimate LSG or MI cause they did comeback after not so good early performance. At the moment CSK opening pair is doing good. Hats off to the confidence of Hardik Pandya he won the toss chose to chase.
Gujjus do have a good record when chasing a target and maybe Hardik & co think that dew might play its role in the second inning.

One no-ball (wicket ball) from new guy Darshan Nalkande changed the momentum a bit in favor of CSK as far as powerplay is concerned, okay powerplay without losing a wicket.

Dew factor is one of the reason. The next would be Gill, himself (bats good in pressure matches), Rashid Khan and Vijay Shankar. These batters can change the game. At the moment CSK is scoreboard is looking good. Gaikwad at his best, Conway giving the support. After 10 overs Conway might start smashing the ball all over the ground.

FTFY (GT vs CSK)

Both teams rank 1st and 2nd at the point table so it won't be a knockout match for them (knockout is for 3rd and 4th rank teams). The winner will get a direct entry to the finals and the losing team will get another chance to compete against the winner of the LSG vs MI match.

Gujarat Titans may play the same system against Chennai today. That means Hardik Pandya can invite Chennai to bat if he wins the toss

In today's match Gujarat Titans won the toss and decided to bowl. Their chasing strategy in this match will definitely make positive impact towards winning. But there is no doubt that the match will be full of fight. Although both the teams are good this season, Gujarat Titans have better statistics in all aspects. The overall condition of the match will be depends a lot on the power play, if the power play can be done well then any team can be ahead to win the match.
