Indian T20 League 2024 

Match 59: GUJ vs CHE

Preview 

After what has been a highly entertaining edition of the Indian T20 League, the season is now heading into the ‘business end’. 

Every match from now on is of paramount significance and this is a main example with Gujarat (GUJ) facing elimination if they lose whereas CHE will take a giant leap towards play-offs if they emerge victorious. 

This is the second meeting between these two sides in this year’s Ind T20 League and it was the men in yellow who dominated the previous clash and secured a 63 run win. 

GUJ suffered yet another defeat in their last game against Bengaluru (BLR), and they never looked like bagging the win after being bundled out for 147. At one point GUJ were 19/3 and it needed some rebuilding from the middle-order to propel them to a slightly defendable total. 

The issue for GUJ this season has been their batting. They just haven’t scored many runs throughout the 11 matches so far. Hardik Pandya vacating for Mumbai (MUM) has left a colossal void in the side with bat, ball and guidance. 

CHE won their last match against Punjab (PUN) in Dharamsala. The win has put CHE into a commanding position ahead of these final group phase matches and they will be brimming with confidence coming into this fixture. 

We have witnessed the growth of Ruturaj Gaikwad as a captain in this tournament with him steadily emerging from MS Dhoni’s shadow in a way that Ravindra Jadeja was never able to. That being said, Jaddu has shown the significance of no pressure and flourishing in the ranks as he scored a quickfire 43 and then picked a three-fer with ball in hand.

Pitch and Weather Report

The pitch at Ahmedabad is one of those that does not produce big totals but also does not offer much assistance to spin bowlers. Expect a gooey surface with a par score no higher than 180 for the side batting first. 

We do not expect to see any cloud cover throughout this game. The projected temperature during the day is 40 degree celsius but it is bound to drop by a few degrees in the evening.
