Rohit Sharma wins toss and his team Mumbai Indians opted to bat first.
Chepauk Stadium has proved to be favorable to spinners during the latter half of the season. The pitch has noticeably slowed down, as evident in the previous game, Qualifier 1, where Gujarat struggled to chase down a target of 172 runs. It is anticipated that this upcoming match will take place on the same strip used for the CSK vs MI game, which witnessed a low-scoring contest. Chennai emerged victorious in that encounter, successfully chasing a modest total of 140. Considering these factors, winning the toss and opting to bat first would be a prudent decision.
The weather forecast predicts partially cloudy conditions with a gentle breeze. There is a mere 2% chance of rainfall, ensuring that the game will proceed without any major interruptions.
Chennai Super Kings have made their headway to the IPL 2023 finals, and they are the are the first team in this season to do so! Chennai beat Gujarat with 15 runs in a match that can be called as an easy win for the host team. Read more about what happened last night
