Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings meet at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday evening and the stakes could hardly be more different for these two sides.
Shubman Gill's men arrive in fine fettle, sitting second in the standings with 16 points, knowing that a victory, ideally a convincing one, could see them leapfrog Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the summit.
GT's net run rate of +0.400 edges out Sunrisers Hyderabad's +0.350, and that fine margin may yet prove decisive in the race for a top-two finish.
Chennai Super Kings, meanwhile, are clinging on by their fingernails. Ruturaj Gaikwad's side require a win and a generous set of other results to keep their playoff hopes breathing.
The five-time champions have been a shadow of their formidable selves this season, with Gaikwad himself managing just 15 runs off 21 balls against Sunrisers in their last outing, a telling sign of the form of the captain.
Objectively, Gujarat Titans hold every advantage here. Their bowling attack has been utterly ruthless at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Sunrisers Hyderabad dismissed for 86, Punjab Kings restricted to 163, Royal Challengers Bengaluru held to 155. The data is hard to ignore. However, Chennai Super Kings are a wounded animal, and that desperation could yet click into something special if their batting lineup fires collectively.
Two outcomes are very much possible here, but on balance, Gujarat Titans look the likelier winners.
