CSK VS GT Match Pitch Report and Toss
As we all know that CSK vs GT match is going to held on Chepauk Stadium, it’s a Spin bowling friendly pitch. As this is a 2nd match in chepauk stadium as of now the pitch is not slow, after some matches the pitch becomes slow, so we can expect a good bating pitch today but still spin bowlers have a edge on this pitch.
Coming to ground stats, till now 77 matches held on chepauk stadium, first bating team won 46 matches and chasing team won 31 matches, an average score on this pitch is around 163. From the stats we can see first bating team has an advantage because at chasing time pitch becomes slow so chasing team batting becomes hard to bat, so toss becomes a crucial factor on this match. As I said before this is a 2nd match on this pitch so initially this pitch behaves 2 phases both bat and spin friendly but on progress of match it helps spinners. So mostly the toss winning team chooses Batting first.
CSK VS GT Head to Head Stats
Coming to CSK VS GT Head to Head stats, GT has a slight edge, till now 5 matches held among these teams, CSK won 2 matches and GT won 3 matches, previous match was a 2023 final match where CSK won the title. In their previous battles CSK won the match which was held in chepauk stadium and GT won the match in their home ground Ahmedabad. So we can see Home Ground has it’s dominance.
CSK player has returned!
CSK Death bowler Matheesha Pathirana is back to the squad, for first match he is unavailable due to his injury but now CSK coach Stephen Fleming official said that Pathirana is back to squad so this is really good news to CSK fans, as we can see for first match CSK team has bad death bowling mainly Tushar Deshpande bowling at Death bowling is very bad except one over, so this time CSK can have a relief over this issue.
But most probably Pathirana is not going to play this match, as for the first match in place of Pathirana, Mustafizur Rahman came to the squad and performed extremely good by taking 4 big wickets and also won the Man Of The Match award for his performance. So after that performance we can’t expect him to replace with Pathirana atleast for this match and not only this as Pathirana came from injury team has their doubts so they might wait for the next match.
CSK team is a team which doesn’t make changes in the squad regularly that too in the last match they won against RCB, so most probably the go with the same squad as before. You might think Pathirana can be replace with Deshpande as his performance is poor but in that case Daryl Michell or Maheesh Theekshana should be out from playing11, as in present situations it’s hard as there should be only 4 foreign players in the team so most probably Pathirana will not be playing today, but there might be chance but it’s too low.

CSK VS GT Who Will Win?
On the paper, CSK team looks strong mainly due to team flexibility, like nearly 9 members can both bowl and bat in their team that too with a master mind behind them none other than MS Dhoni. Unlike last year CSK purchased best members in auction like Ravindra and Daryl Michell they can play with both bat and bowl good and can play spin bowling with ease. As this match is going to held on Chepauk the spin friendly pitch these 2 can be an addon’s to the team. GT and CSK both teams are coming with young Captains but to be frank we can see a battle between 2 master minds MSD and Asish Nehra. GT is also looking strong but mainly after Pandya and Shami gone out this time it makes a strong affect to the team but bowling is still good. We should not forget that players like Sai Sudharsan , Vijay Shankar and Sai Kishore played most of their domestic in Chennai grounds so they know how to play in this pitch, so these 3 has a good edge in this match.
But anyway beating CSK in their Home Ground like their Den is not easy to GT, but if GT Bats first and scores a big score then they have a chance to win. But probably CSK will not let it happen. Let’s see what will happen.
