GT vs CSK, IPL 2025: Chennai Super Kings have ended their IPL 2025 campaign on a high, thrashing table-topper Gujarat Titans by a massive 83-run margin. Noor Ahmad bagged three wickets as GT were bowled out for 147. Sai Sudharsan top-scored with 41 while others fell like ten pins. Chennai Super Kings posted 230/5, their highest of the campaign in their last match of the tournament. Ayush Mhatre (34 off 17) set the stage while Urvil Patel (37 off 19) and Dewald Brevis (57 off 23) made merry on the Ahmedabad surface. Devon Conway played the anchor role with a 35-ball 52.
Earlier, MS Dhoni won the toss for CSK and opted to bat first. CSK dropped R Ashwin once again for Deepak Hooda. For GT, Kagiso Rabada made way for Gerald Coetzee. With both Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru dropping points, GT have a chance to seal the top spot. A win will confirm their entry into Qualifier 1.
The Gujarat Titans, led by Shubman Gill, are in fine form and sit at the top of the IPL 2025 points table, chasing a top-two finish for a direct entry into the finale. With a dominant top order featuring Gill, Jos Buttler, and Sai Sudharsan, GT have been a force at home, backed by a formidable bowling attack led by Rashid Khan and Mohammed Siraj. Their recent performances showcase their ability to post and defend big totals, making them favourites.
Chennai Super Kings, under new leadership after Ruturaj Gaikwad’s tenure, are out of playoff contention but aim to play spoilers. CSK’s batting relies on Devon Conway, Ayush Mhatre, and Shivam Dube, while Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin provide all-round depth. However, their inconsistent season, marred by injuries and the absence of key pacers, has left them vulnerable. The Narendra Modi Stadium’s batting-friendly pitch and potential dew factor could favor the chasing side, setting the stage for a high-scoring encounter. GT’s superior head-to-head record and home advantage give them an edge, but CSK’s experience in crunch games makes them dangerous. Expect a battle of strategy and skill in this exciting clash.
The Narendra Modi Stadium pitch is known for favoring batsmen, often producing high-scoring games. A black soil pitch with some grass cover is expected, offering early movement for pacers but becoming easier for batting later. Spinners may find grip, but dew could make bowling second challenging. A score above 200 is competitive, with chasing preferred due to dew.
On May 25, 2025, Ahmedabad is expected to see daytime temperatures around 40°C, dropping to about 30°C by evening. Humidity will range between 45-52%, with no significant chance of rain and mostly clear skies. High humidity and potential dew could impact player stamina and favor the chasing team.
