IPL 2024: Match 59, GT vs CSK Today Match Prediction - Who will win today's IPL match?

Both Finalists from last season have had tough seasons so far. The Gujarat Titans, with the loss of Hardik Pandya, lost some stability with a middle-order batter and capable bowler moving away. The Super Kings did not lose any such firepower, though, with the same roster. Their concern, though, has been a case of last season’s strength turning out to be this season’s weakness.

Last season, Ajinkya Rahane turned out to be a surprise package with his positive batting. This season, his intent has taken him straight to the fielder on most occasions. Shivam Dube, after a flying start to the season, has two ducks in a row and is staring at a hat-trick by the looks of it. Known for his spin-hitting, Dube has been out to the ball turning into his hitting arc twice.

With the ball, CSK is without Pathirana, and the bowling attack looks very light now. They don’t have a seasoned death bowler, and the spin attack looks very shaky. Gujarat, as well, is almost out of contention, with hopes hanging by a thread. A loss here would put them out of contention completely, ending a strong two-season run.

GT vs CSK Key Players

Shivam Dube

CSK’s batting has struggled to produce the big 200s in recent times. Shivam Dube getting 2 0s is a strong contributor. In most cases he is the push in the line-up and CSK will be desperate for him to get going again.

Sai Sudharshan

Sai Sudharshan has been pretty consistent through the season. His strike-rate too has been better this season and he will have fond memories of his encounter last season against CSK.

GT vs CSK, Battles to Watch

Shivam Dube vs Sai Kishore: The ball turning in has had the better of Shivam Dube in two games. He has another left-arm spinner to face and that could see be a challenge for him.

GT vs CSK Match Tips

The Gujarat Titans are back at home. Their bowling has looked good in the second half, but Mohit Sharma’s form was a concern in the first two games. He is due a big game along with Shubman Gill while the Super Kings are coming in with a really poor bowling line-up.
