MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the reigning champions, the Gujarat Titans (GT), will face off in the first qualifier for the IPL 2023 at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. This will be the fourth time that these two teams play each other, and CSK will be ready to win this time. Even though GT has a better record against CSK, the fact that the match is being played at CSK’s home stadium, Chepauk Stadium, gives the Men in Yellow an edge. This season, CSK hasn’t been as successful in Chennai as they were in the past, but they are still a strong team, and the crowd’s eager support will make things hard for GT.
Weather Report for GT vs. CSK
The weather in Chennai should be good enough for a full 40-over game. AccuWeather says there is a 0% chance of rain in Tamil Nadu’s main city on Tuesday, and temperatures will be between 30 and 32 degrees Celsius. Even though it doesn’t look like it will rain, if bad weather does stop the game, the winner will be decided by a “super over.” This rule applies to both the semifinals and the final, which will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
But if the field conditions aren’t good enough for the super-over, the winners will be decided by how they stand in the league. This is true for all play-off games, including the Qualifier 1, Eliminator, and Qualifier 2 games, since no spare days have been set aside for them. GT placed first in the IPL 2023 final league stage standings. This means that if the match is rained out and can’t be played, GT will make it to the final.
The Chennai Super Kings are getting ready to play the Gujarat Titans in the first qualifier, which is a high-stakes game with a lot at stake. The importance of this match cannot be understated. Both teams will want to win and make it to the IPL 2023 final. Even though GT has won more games in the past, CSK is a strong opponent because they are determined and play at home. All eyes will be on the MA Chidambaram Stadium as these two teams go head-to-head for a chance at cricket’s highest honor.
