IPL 2023 weather update: Ahmedabad weather report on May 28 for today's GT vs CSK final
Much to the dismay of fans, there might be several rain breaks when the Gujarat Titans (GT) and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) lock horns in the IPL 2023 final in Ahmedabad on Sunday, May 28.
After finishing second in the points table, the Super Kings defeated the Titans by 15 runs in Qualifier 1 at the Chepauk to book a final berth. Batting first, CSK scored 172 runs, riding on an 87-run opening stand between Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway.
The bowler then did an exceptional job to contain a star-studded Gujarat battle to make it to the final. Deepak Chahar, Matheesha Pathirana, Ravindra Jadeja, and Maheesh Theekshana picked up two wickets apiece.
On the other hand, defending champions GT had to take a longer route to reach their second consecutive final.
After losing to CSK, Hardik Pandya and Co. squared off against the Mumbai Indians (MI) in Qualifier 2. The Titans thrashed them by 81 runs to set up a date with Chennai. Shubman Gill scored a magical hundred before Mohit Sharma's five-wicket haul derailed the run chase of the five-time champions.
Gujarat and Chennai have squared off against each other four times so far in the IPL, with the former winning thrice.
