Odds, picks & predictions
Gujarat Titans: -115
Chennai Super Kings: -110
Moneyline pick: Gujarat Titans -115
In the lone meeting between these sides in the regular season, Gujarat won by five wickets chasing down 178. That match was at the beginning of the year and a lot has changed since then, including the venue. The opener was played in Gujarat, while Qualifier 1 will take place in Chennai. That’s likely why the odds are so close between these sides.
CSK’s opening pair are as dangerous as any, and the batting lineup does run fairly deep. However, Gujarat has the better bowling attack and might have the best overall player in Shubman Gill. Hardik Pandya didn’t do much in the final regular season match, so he should be heavily involved in this one. That’s bad news for CSK, who has always had problems dealing with the all-rounder. At the end of the day, Gujarat has many paths to victory and more overall talent. Take the Titans on the moneyline to advance to the final.
