Chennai Super Kings vs Gujarat Titans T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024
We have a repeat of last year’s IPL final on Tuesday evening in Chepauk as the 2023 Winners Chennai Super Kings take on the 2022 Winners and the 2023 Runners-Up Gujarat Titans. Both of the sides got their campaigns off to winning starts on the weekend and now meet again in Match 7. Read on as we preview this fixture which begins at 19:30 local time at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
CSK were on top for the majority of the game against RCB but they will need to go up a level or two if they are to get another win in this match. None of their batters made more than 37 in Match 1 and that will be an area that they will be looking for more in this game.
Gujarat Titans overcame a strong Mumbai Indians side on Sunday with five wickets coming from the final 13 balls which went a long way to securing the victory. After losing in the 2023 Final, the Titans will be very motivated to win this match.

CSK Team News & Playing 11
CSK Team News
In his first game as skipper, Ruturaj Gaikwad led his team to victory and there were no injuries reported in the squad after the victory either. With this game being played at the same venue with similar conditions we are not predicting any changes.
CSK Key Players
- Rachin Ravindra- the all-rounder hit three fours and three sixes to produce a strike-rate of 246.66 against RCB. He will look to carry on where he left off at the venue in this match.
- Ruturaj Gaikwad- the skipper made 15 runs from 15 balls against RCB and has a strong record against Gujarat Titans with an average of 60.80.
- Mustafizur Rahman- the Bangladesh left-arm pacer produced his best ever IPL figures in the opening game with the wickets of Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli and Cameron Green.
- Deepak Chahar- the right-arm pace bowler got the crucial wicket of Glenn Maxwell in Match 1 and has dismissed Shubman Gill three times before in the IPL.
CSK Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Shivam Dube, Shardul Thakur, Shaik Rasheed, Nichant Sindhu, Moeen Ali
Shivam Dube came in as the batting impact player in the second innings in Match 1 against RCB and we expect him to play the same role if CSK field first. If an additional bowler is required we can expect the experienced Shardul Thakur to come in.
CSK Team Form
CSK still have plenty more to give but still beat RCB comfortably in their opening game of IPL 2024.
CSK Predicted Playing 11
Ruturaj Gaikwad (c), Rachin Ravindra, Ajinkya Rahane, Daryl Mitchell, Ravindra Jadeja, Sameer Rizvi, MS Dhoni (wk), Deepak Chahar, Maheesh Theekshana, Mustafizur Rahman, Tushar Deshpande

Although this match is at a different venue and with only a 48 hour turnaround, no changes are expected for Gujarat Titans. Shubman Gill’s side delivered match-winning contributions from across the side with bat and ball and none of the players looked out of form.
GT Key Players
- Shubman Gill- the skipper has impressed in recent matches against CSK and he top scored for Gujarat Titans when they last played in Chepauk.
- Sai Sudharsan- the young left-hander carried on where he left off from last season with a fluent 45 against Mumbai Indians’ strong bowling attack in Ahmedabad.
- Azmatullah Omarzai- the Afghanistan all-rounder continued his strong form from the last 12 months with valuable runs and the wickets of Ishan Kishan and Naman Dhir against Mumbai Indians.
- Rashid Khan- the leg-spinner is able to keep the runs down whilst being a big wicket taking threat and he should find the conditions better for his type of bowling in Chepauk than in Ahmedabad.
GT Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Mohit Sharma, BR Sharath, Manav Suthar, Abhinav Manohar, Noor Ahmad
Mohit Sharma came in for the second innings of the game on Sunday and he performed exceptionally well with the ball. If Gujarat Titans are needing an additional batter for this game then batting all-rounder Abhinav Manohar is the most likely candidate.
GT Team Form
Gujarat Titans were not perfect in their opening game but their batting was certainly impressive in the victory.
GT Predicted Playing 11
Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill (c), Sai Sudharsan, Azmatullah Omarzai, David Miller, Vijay Shankar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Umesh Yadav, Sai Kishore, Spencer Johnson
