CSK vs GT Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Pitch Report – IPL 2024 7th match | CHE vs GT Dream11 Prediction Today | Chepauk Pitch Report

It’s the re-match of the IPL 2023 Final and this one promises to be another epic. There is a different feel about both Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans with new captains and added personnel, but both are looking as good as any team this season.

CSK started in efficient fashion, beating RCB at home courtesy of Mustafizur Rahman’s spell to remember and a solid batting effort. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s team bat deep, and that may be of importance today against a Titans side that remains potent with the ball even without Mohammed Shami.

Shubman Gill’s executed a superb comeback win over Mumbai Indians on Sunday. The short turnaround from that clash will be a challenge to overcome, but what GT have shown in their short history is that anything is possible. They’ll certainly be up for this match and can make a statement.

MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai Pitch Report and Weather

CSK’s spinners went wicketless in the tournament opener. The surface did not have too much turn, with the ball sliding on. If that’s the case, runs could be on offer again with the seamers playing a key role.

The average first innings score in nine matches last season was 170. The team batting first won five of these games.

A hot and humid evening is forecast with no chance of rain. Dew is likely, so bowling first may be the go once again.
