GT vs CHE Dream11 Prediction: Both teams are in excellent form and it’s very difficult to predict a winner between them. CSK will have their home advantage and they’ll look to spin a web with their spinners against the GT batters. Gujarat needs to bat better as they look a bit over-dependent on Shubman Gill.
Match: Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings, Qualifier 1
Venue: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
Time: 7:30 PM IST
Both teams will give their all in this match.
The team which performs well with the bat will win this game.
Gujarat are dependent on Shubman Gill to do the bulk of the scoring. The middle order needs to step up in this game.
Chennai is heavily dependent on its openers. The likes of Ajinkya Rahane, Moeen Ali and Ambati Rayudu must score some runs in the playoffs.
Bowlers from both sides are in top form.
Matheesha Pathirana will be a key bowler for CSK, especially in the death overs.
Noor Ahmad has been in top form in the middle overs for Gujarat.
Hardik Pandya has been average with the bat and he needs to regain his form.

Poor form alert (GT)
Wriddhiman Saha has 2 ducks in the last 3 games.
Poor form alert (CSK)
Maheesh Theekshana has 2 wickets in the last 4 games.
Wriddhiman Saha will be against Deepak Chahar and he has an average record against CSK. You can take the risk and drop him.
CSK’s middle order is vulnerable to wrist spin which makes Noor Ahmad an appealing fantasy option.
Maheesh Theekshana will be an excellent differential pick.
Hardik Pandya has not bowled in the last few games. He may get trapped by the CSK spinners as well. You can drop him from most of your fantasy teams. Make him captain in 1-2 teams.
Ajinkya Rahane will be a good option as well. It’s a quite risky move as he is a good choice only when he comes to bat in the power play. Pick him in 2-3 teams and make him Captain.
Drop all the bowlers from Hyderabad if Gujarat is bowling first. It’s a bit risky but it’s worth the risk and can be an excellent differential move.
Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Shubman Gill, Hardik Pandya (c), David Miller, Abhinav Manohar, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Noor Ahmad, Alzarri Joseph, Mohammed Shami, Mohit Sharma
Probable Impact Sub: Vijay Shankar
Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Ajinkya Rahane, Shivam Dube, Moeen Ali, Ravindra Jadeja, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Deepak Chahar, Tushar Deshpande, Maheesh Theekshana, Matheesha Pathirana
Probable Impact Sub: Ambati Rayud
High risk to avoid players with high ownership (try to fit in most players with more than 60% ownership with not more than 2 differentials)

Highest ownerships from the outside base team: Saha, Miller and Shami
Saha vs Miller
David Miller is the better choice. He has a good record against CSK – 414 runs at an average of 41.4 and has struck at 139.9. Saha will face Deepak Chahar in the power play and there are chances of him getting dismissed early.
Differential Picks: Maheesh Theekshana, Noor Ahmad, Mohit Sharma (If GT bowls 1st). Ajinkya Rahane
If GT bats first
Complete team with the inclusion of Vijay Shankar and Maheesh Theekshana/Tushar Deshpande
Captaincy choices: Rashid, Conway, Gill and Gaikwad

CSK bat first
Pick Shami, Rahane and Shankar/Mohit
Avoid picking Hardik

Try to fit in 7 players with more than 70% ownership leaving 2 big players out who have potential risks
Have three differential picks with ownership less than 25%
Join with more than 5 teams and alternate differentials
Change 2 out of the 7 players with 70% ownership (in team 6 onwards)
Pick one player who was brought in for this game
You can consider dropping Wriddhiman Saha.
Noor Ahmad and Mohit Sharma will be the top differential picks.
Rashid Khan will be a tough match-up for Shivam Dube. You may take the risk and drop Dube.
Ajinkya Rahane will be a good punt pick.
It’s worth the risk to select Gaikwad as Captain over Gill and Conway.
Base team for T1-T5
Conway, Gill, Gaikwad, Dube, Jadeja, Pandya, Rashid, Chahar, Pathirana
Other picks in order: Mohammed Shami (if CSK bats 1st), Noor Ahmad, Mohit Sharma (if CSK bats 1st), Theekshana, Rahane, Vijay Shankar
One major differential pick: Vijay Shankar, Maheesh Theekshana, Moeen Ali, Noor Ahmad
Both teams are in excellent form and it’s very difficult to predict a winner between them. CSK will have their home advantage and they’ll look to spin a web with their spinners against the GT batters. Gujarat needs to bat better as they look a bit over-dependent on Shubman Gill.
