With the mega match set to take place tomorrow, let us take a look at how the two teams fare at the end of the group league matches. Gujarat Titans on one hand ended their league stage with a win against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their final league game. They finished the league stage by staying on top of the points table. They were the first team to qualify for the playoffs.

With everyone expecting Gujarat to win in the qualifier one, the match went in favour of the CSK, who beat GT to book a place in the finals for the record 10th time. Chennai’s in-form batter Ruturaj Gaikwad helped his side reach a healthy total. Chasing 173, Gujarat suffered a major batting collapse as their innings ended at 157. For the first time, Chennai were able to defeat Gujarat in an IPL game especially after having lost to them thrice.

Mumbai Indians on the other hand ended their league stage in the fourth position, though they had to wait for the result of another match to turn in their favour in order to qualify for the playoffs. After securing a win in their last league game, Mumbai then sealed another win against Lucknow Super Giants in the eliminator of the IPL 2023 to reach the qualify for the qualifier 2.

Despite suffering a batting collapse, some useful contribution with the bat from Cameron Green helped Mumbai reach a defendable total of 182. With 183 runs to defend, Mumbai’s young talented pacer Akash Madhwal bagged a five-wicket haul to see the end of Lucknow’s innings.
