CSK, at Chepauk, stand in GT's way of second straight final
IPL Qualifier 1 will see these similar yet very different teams go against each other at Chepauk in what is expected to be a cracker of a contest. CSK will enjoy home advantage but they’ve not been as impregnable at home as in the past. Gujarat Titans, meanwhile, will now hope they’ve shed the weary legs and minds after playing late on Sunday night and the travel that came after it.

GT and CSK, the two teams that squared off in the tournament opener at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on 31 March, finished in the top two slots with 20 and 17 points respectively with the Titans topping the table for a second season in a row since making their debut last year along with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
CSK were tied with LSG on 17 points, given the fixture between the two at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium earlier this month had been rained off, but finished ahead on the table due to their superior Net Run Rate.
As far as the head-to-head record between the two teams goes, it’s 3-0 in favour of Gujarat at the moment. The Hardik Pandya-led side have pulled off a hat-trick of chases against MS Dhoni and Co — winning by three wickets and seven wickets last season. In the first game of the 16th edition, Gujarat managed to chase down the 179-run target set by Chennai with five wickets and four deliveries to spare.
While the winner of this contest progresses directly into the final that takes place at the Narendra Modi Stadium this Sunday, the loser will have another shot at making the final as they take on the winner of the Eliminator between LSG and Mumbai Indians, which takes place on Wednesday, 24 May.
