I guess atm no team has any advantage and don't forget upcoming knockouts have some interesting matchups in terms of stats.

CSK still looking for their first win against Gujrat and they are playing against them. Similarly, Mumbai also searching for their first win against Lucknow and it's a knockout.



The first knockout match will happen today between MI GT & CSK. Expecting a thrilling game of cricket,

Which team is your favourite?
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.

The first qualifier match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans will take place shortly. The team that wins today's match between these two teams will directly confirm the final and the team that loses today will have another chance as the team that wins the match between Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants will play again with today's loser.

Although in this IPL between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans, Chennai Super Kings are said to be favorites but Gujarat Titans statistics against Chennai are very good.  So far these two teams have played three matches against each other out of which Gujarat Titans have won three matches and Hardik Pandya's team has been successful in all the matches by playing on target. 
Gujarat Titans may play the same system against Chennai today. That means Hardik Pandya can invite Chennai to bat if he wins the toss

@Litzki1990 as an MSD fan I’m sincerely hoping that CSK can reach the final’s and he can win this tournament one more time because there’s lots of evidence which suggests that this is his last IPL. Also on the other hand I’m excited to see Hardik Pandya’s progress as this proves that the T20 Indian cricket team is in safe hands and his experience of captaining GT will come very handy when he leads team India in the T20 World Cup.

As we gear up for the IPL 2023 playoffs, excitement is reaching its peak.  CSK, MI, GT, and LSG have all fought hard to make it to the playoffs, but the real challenge lies ahead. CSK and MI are yet to beat their playoff opponents, but this time they have the potential to turn things around.

First match of the playoffs will happen between GT vs CSK. Titans have never lost an IPL match against the Super Kings, making this all the more exciting. In the second playoff match will happen between MI vs LSG. MI has a reputation for being a tough opponent, especially in playoffs.

Which team is your favourite?

It is very hard to predict T20 and when you have two best team playing against it becomes impossible to predict. A part of brain supports GT and the other part supports MSD. I have a feeling that this might be the last season for him. He is still very fit and active on the ground , still no one knows untill he says. CSK might win today and I think they might pick up the cup for this season.

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 time we have four quality teams in the playoffs. However, out of these four teams, perhaps Chennai Super Kings are the ones with the least star power. Dhoni is well past his prime, and the team is actually quite dependent on younger players such as Devon Conway, Matheesha Pathirana, Shivam Dube and Ruturaj Gaikwad. Ravindra Jadeja is the only veteran player who is performing well at this point. Their overseas signings have flopped in this season, including Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali. Toss will play a crucial role. If they bat first, then Conway-Gaikwad combination can get them to a good start. But their bowling lineup is quite inexperienced, and may not be able to contain players such as Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill.

I agree that Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans are the two teams who look like the favorites to lift the trophy. And among these two, GT remains as my favorites. Their bowling is so strong that Hardik Pandya was not required to bowl for the last 3 matches in a row. Rashid Khan and Mohammad Shami are among top wicket takers in this season. I would like Josh Little to be included in the XI as well, but it looks unlikely. Anyway, after today's match, the losing team will get one more chance to qualify for the finals.

Rashid Khan has basically become the trump card for GT. He has been performing really well. They can expect a very good economical figure from him in almost every match. Again the only reason why I think Chennai is probably being supported a lot is because of Dhoni. Otherwise, Otherwise, I think a lot more people were going to support Gujarat instead of CSK. Of course, we are talking a lot ahead of time. We are not sure if both of them are actually going to be in the finals. But these two are certainly most likely to be in the finals.

Of course, I want to see Chennai win against Mumbai because I want to see Chennai in the finals. But it is actually hard to say which team is going to win. Because both of them are playing really well and Mumbai is chasing big totals quite easily. It is certainly going to be a high scoring match. Again I have my personal favourite but it is actually hard to say which team is going to win. At the same time if we look at the consistency of both of the teams I think we will have to say Chennai is the one who has been more consistent.

All 4 teams in the playoffs have great chances at winning the cup frankly speaking. CSK have the edge against other teams primarily because they have been far more consistent in every department.
All four teams that qualify for the playoffs qualify for the finals. Because they have made it to the playoffs by proving their superiority by fighting against all other teams. We should have no doubts about the qualification of these four teams. The playoffs are usually a battle of the best vs. the best, and in a battle of the best, whoever performs the best on the field without making any mistakes usually wins. We expect it to be a very tight match.
Random prediction: Am expecting CSK vs LSG faceoff in the final where CSK will end up winning the cup for the 5th time.

Well of course they will have to perform really well to win the IPL. Nobody thinks that CSK will be able to win the IPL without actually performing well and being consistent. All I want to say is that there is going to be a good fight between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat for the title.

I actually thought MS Dhoni is going to retire after this IPL season. But maybe I was wrong. And of course, he can play as long as he wants. I don't think anyone is going to have any problems if he can play well Smiley.

This IPL is probably not the last IPL of Dhoni's career. Because the IPL authorities posted a video on the IPL's official Twitter page, where after the toss, a commentator asked MS Dhoni about the last IPL of his career, and he said he would come back. That means we might see one more season of MS Dhani as the captain of Chennai Super Kings.  

Those of us are thinking that since this season is the last season for MS Dhoni, maybe Chennai Super Kings will win the title this season, but it is not like that, to win the IPL title, you have to perform and then win the title. Just as they overcame the hurdles in the group stage to secure the playoffs, they have to perform well in the later rounds and then look to win the trophy.  

Most of the fans consider Chennai Super Kings as the favorite because MS Dhoni's underlings are doing very well. And because of MS Dhoni's use of whoever is needed at the exact moment, maybe their chances of winning the title are slightly higher.

Well of course they will have to perform really well to win the IPL. Nobody thinks that CSK will be able to win the IPL without actually performing well and being consistent. All I want to say is that there is going to be a good fight between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat for the title.

The last IPL title was won by Chennai Super Kings in 2021 season and Gujarat Titans in 2022 and LSG as runners up.  Maybe with a gap of one year we can see Chennai Super Kings win the ipl title again in 2023 season. Because this season along with the great captaincy of MS Dhoni, the team players are performing responsibly. MS Dhoni in particular has been using the few batsmen and all-rounders in the team in the right places and has already reaped many benefits from using them in the right places.  
Chennai Super Kings will face Gujarat Titans in the first qualifier match. Even if they lose the first qualifier match, these two teams will have another chance to reach the final.  Hoping that Captain Cool MS Dhoni will confirm the final in the first qualifier match against Gujarat.
Both CSK and GT are top teams of this tournament and it will be difficult to say which team will win tomorrow. On one side we have Mahi while on GT side Gill is in terrific form. The beauty of IPL qaulifier model is that top 2 teams got edge over number 3 ad 4. GT's are defending champions and thats why they have more pressure on them compared to CSK. If I have to choose one team tomorrow then I will choose CSK just because of Mahi.

I am actually very hopeful about GT winning this season's IPL trophy. They have been performing really well so far in this season's IPL. But of course, from the next stage of the IPL things are going to change a lot because the competition is going to start getting a lot harder.

I would certainly want to see a final between GT and CSK. Don't know if that is actually possible or not. But of course, I also understand people choosing CSK because Dhoni might be playing his last IPL this season. It is going to be something to see him lifting the IPL trophy again. But at the same time, I don't think if he is not able to lift the trophy it is going to be a disaster for his career as he has achieved almost everything.

Yesterday we saw three different players from three different teams scoring century. Both Kohli & Gill got back to back century. Whereas Green got his first century in IPL. The most interesting match of yesterday's was between GT and RCB. Tomorrow GT will be playing againt CSK in the first playoffs. According to me GT is a much consistent team than CSK. They have a far better batting line up and good attacking spinners. CSK has Convey and the best captain in IPL MSD. I feel GT will go to finals if not then I feel CSK might pick this year trophy.
That was a big day.. in terms of consistent performance it is Gujarat Titans team for sure. CSK have performed good throughout the season, but its dependence over Convay is much. Matches in which Convoy fails, CSK suffer to make big runs. On the bowling side it doesn't have the players that have the confidence as that of Rashid Khan. The captaincy is the advantage that CSK holds at the moment, and we don't know how effective this gonna work in the qualifier. Earlier in the match between CSK and GT, it was a much comfortable win for Gujarat Titans winning by 5 wickets and 4 balls left in chasing 178 runs.

So too much discussion has already been made about IPL. What about Asia cup - there are a lot of controversies that Indian team will not come to Pakistan
And then NAjam Sethi is also making statements that Pakistan team will not go to India.

The qualifier 1 match between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans is much expected as both the teams were in good form. The win percentage as of now is almost same with 51% for CSK and 49% for GT. The small difference is just on the Dhoni's captaincy. Home match for Chennai can be an advantage as the team gets complete support from the audience. Earlier in the league match Gujarat Titans have won against CSK in a comfortable way. We can't get into confirmation on the match winner, Gujarat Titans were good in chasing targets and toss too plays a major role in the match result.
If any team has the most supporters in the IPL, it is CSK.  Whether playing at home or away, Chennai Super Kings never lacks fans. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the main reason why Chennai Super Kings have such a huge number of fans. Fans usually like him so much and support his team so much because of his great captaincy and amazing batting. But what you said Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy against Gujarat Titans could make the difference in the match. No one seems to know better than Mahendra Singh Dhoni when to bowl or what fielding position to call. If Gujarat Titans' opening pair can get out in the powerplay, CSK will be in control of the match.
Every team in IPL has huge fans but CSK is totally different. As you said MS Dhoni is an important player in Chennai Super Kings team. In light of his experience, the team has won the IPL winning trophy several times (2010, 2011, 2018, 2021). I can agree with you that this team has the most popularity in IPL and MS Dhoni is playing an important role at that team. In this year's IPL 2023 CSK has a good position. How much a team needs an experienced player is easily understood from CSK especially MS Dhoni's position.
Chennai Super Kings will face Gujarat Titans in the first qualifier match. Even if they lose the first qualifier match, these two teams will have another chance to reach the final.  Hoping that Captain Cool MS Dhoni will confirm the final in the first qualifier match against Gujarat.
This is not unusual. No strong team is a strong opponent for this four-time IPL winning team. Dhani's bravery captaincy is more than enough to lift the team out of any bad situation. In t20 cricket ‍many are thinks that those who can play aggressive will win if it was then RCB would not have collapsed. Here wrist strength along with intellectual strength is very effective. Those who can combine strength and intelligence will win the match.
