In a highly-anticipated clash, Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans will cross swords against each other in the final of the IPL 2023. Both teams have played some exceptional cricket to outclass the rest eight teams and seal their berth in the final. 

Chennai Super Kings recorded a 15-run victory over Gujarat Titans in qualifier 1 to become the first team to qualify for the final. Batting first, CSK posted a challenging total of 172 runs, courtesy of Devon Conway's spectacular half-century. In response, the Titans managed only 157, despite valiant efforts from Shubman Gill and Rashid Khan. 

However, the scenario will be different this time, as the surface in Ahmedabad won't be similar to that in Chennai. As both teams gear up to take on each other, let's see how the pitch will likely behave in this match. 


Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad Pitch Report

The surface at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad has favoured the batters to a considerable extent in the IPL 2023. It will be on the flatter side, with occasional help for spinners. The average run rate reads 8.37, indicating the tracks' conduciveness for batting. 

The seam movement will be minimal, and the pacers will have to mix it up and use variations to succeed at the venue. Furthermore, with short square boundaries on offer, we expect a high-scoring thriller in the final. 

Therefore, both teams will hope their batters to step up in order to emerge triumphant in this ultimate face-off.
