The Gujarat Titans (GT) are set to face the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their final league match of IPL 2025 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 25. This encounter holds significant importance for GT, as a victory would secure them a top-two finish, granting them two opportunities to reach the final—a strategic advantage in the playoffs. 

Under Shubman Gill's leadership, GT has been a formidable force this season, clinching nine wins out of 13 matches. Gill himself has been in stellar form, amassing 636 runs, only behind fellow GT opener Sai Sudharsan with 638 runs. The team's batting prowess is complemented by a potent bowling attack, with Prasidh Krishna taking 21 wickets and Sai Kishore contributing 16 wickets, making them a well-rounded unit.  

In contrast, CSK has had a challenging season, managing only three wins in 13 games and currently sitting at the bottom of the table. The team has struggled to find consistent form, particularly in the bowling department, where they have failed to contain opposition batters effectively. Historically, the head-to-head record between these two teams is closely contested, with GT leading 4-3 over CSK. Their last encounter saw GT securing a 35-run victory. 

With the stakes high for GT to cement their top-two position and CSK aiming to end their season on a positive note, this match promises to be an exciting contest. GT will look to leverage their current form and home advantage, while CSK will aim to play spoilsport and regain some pride. 

Head-to-Head: GT vs CSK - Who Holds the Advantage?

GT and CSK have had some fierce battles over the years, with GT historically holding the upper hand. With the match being played at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, GT will have the home advantage, and their spin attack of Rashid Khan and Sai Kishor could be a major threat on a turning track. Their batting lineup, led by skipper Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Josh Buttler, looks solid. On the other hand, CSK boasts an explosive batting unit, featuring Devon Conway, Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel, Shivam Dube, Dewald Brewis, and MS Dhoni. However, their biggest concern has always been their inconsistent performance and  bowling attack, which often struggles in high-scoring encounters. While Anshul Kamboj and Khalil Ahamed add depth, they’ll need to handle GT’s aggressive top order. Given GT’s superior bowling attack and home conditions, they might start as slight favorites. But CSK’s firepower makes them dangerous, and if their bowling holds up, an upset could be on the cards. Let’s break down their head-to-head record to see who holds the edge ahead of the IPL 2025 match:

Total Matches Played: 7

GT Wins: 4

CSK Wins: 3

No Result/Abandoned Matches: 0

Despite GT having the firepower of Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan and Josh Buttler, CSK’s all-around strength and explosive players Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin give them the upper hand in this head-to-head contest. However, it’s always been a close battle, with both sides frequently trading blows in IPL clashes.

Predictions: Who Will Win the Match?

As far as match prediction and fantasy cricket is concerned, GT might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Shubman Gill, Sai Sudharsan, Rutherford and Josh Buttler, but CSK’s balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin make them a formidable opponent. Narendra Modi Stadium, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest.

GT vs CSK Match Pitch Report:     

The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad offers a balanced pitch that challenges both batsmen and bowlers. Early in the match, the surface favors the batsmen, allowing them to play aggressive strokes with good bounce and a solid foundation. A first-innings score between 180-190 runs is generally considered competitive. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, providing assistance to spinners, which can make chasing more difficult. Teams chasing targets around 180-190 runs generally have a fighting chance, but anything above 190-200 can put them under pressure, especially with the slow nature of the pitch in the second innings. Overall, it’s a dynamic surface where both batting and bowling strategies need to adapt to the conditions, and a score around 180+ is often a strong target for the chasing side.
