That brings us to the end of our coverage of Qualifier 1 of IPL 2023, with four-time winners Chennai Super Kings triumphing over defending champions Gujarat Titans by 15 runs to book their direct ticket to the final and inch closer to their fifth title, with Ruturaj Gaikwad winning the Player of the Match award in the presentation ceremony for his 44-ball 60 on a tricky Chepauk wicket.
It’s not over for the Titans though, as they will have one more shot at making the final.
We shift our attention to the Eliminator between Lucknow Super Giants and Mumbai Indians, which takes place at the same venue tomorrow with the winner of that contest squaring off against GT in Qualifier 2 in Ahmedabad on Friday.
For now, this is Amit signing off, wishing you all a good night!

After 20 overs,Gujarat Titans 157/10 ( Noor Ahmad 7 , )
Needing 27 to win from the final over, Pathirana conceded five off the first three deliveries to put the target out of Gujarat's reach. Noor Ahmad collected a boundary off the fourth ball, getting a thick leading edge over short third man, but can only collect a single off the fifth. Pathirana has to bowl the final ball again after firing it wide down the leg side. Shami, looking to end the match on a high, hardly gets any timing in his wild slog down the ground and is caught near long on, resulting in a 15-run win for CSK — their first against GT in four attempts.

Though Gill firmly sweeps Jadeja towards the vacant midwicket fence to collect his second boundary off the senior left-arm spinner, the last three overs have belonged to the Chennai spinners with Jadeja and Theekshana hardly giving Gill and Dasun Shanaka any room to breathe. Between the two boundaries that Gill collected at the start of the seventh and off the final ball of the ninth, GT collected just 10 runs in 16 balls, with the required rate now going past 10-an-over.

Though he does not give away any boundaries in his third, Conway and Rahane are able to keep the scoreboard ticking with the ones and twos, with eight coming off the Afghan's third. Chennai's run rate is less than eight at the moment, and they will need a couple of big overs if they are to push for a 180-run total on this surface.

Chennai Super Kings are powering along nicely at the halfway stage of their innings, going at eight-and-a-half an over with Gaikwad batting on 59.

Decides to take the aerial route against a short, wide delivery from Mohit Sharma, guiding it behind point with the fielder running to his right from third man unable to get to it in time.

Another nine-run over from Rashid, who had been labelled as GT's "Trump Card" against CSK on this surface by Virender Sehwag ahead of the game, with Gaikwad collecting another boundary off the spin superstar — this time cutting it behind point. That is followed by a relatively tidy over from Noor with a brace and four singles coming off it. CSK are going at eight-an-over, and they will be hoping to accelerate later on.

Gujarat Titans decide to deploy their Afghan spin twins for the last two overs of the powerplay. Gaikwad pinches a couple of doubles off Rashid in his first over before going for a lofted drive over the cover region for a boundary in a nine-run over. Noor Ahmed also concedes nine in his first over, both Gaikwad and Conway collecting a boundary each in this over. End of a decent powerplay for Chennai, which could have gone in an entirely different direction had Nalkande not overstepped earlier.

Rashid to be GT's trump card against CSK: Sehwag
Spin sensation Rashid Khan had started the season on a slow note and had been expensive in his spells early on in the season, but turned things around in style soon enough to not just catch up with the rest of the pack, but to go level with Purple Cap holder Mohammed Shami at the end of the league stage. And according to Indian batting icon Virender Sehwag, he will be key to GT's hopes of beating CSK in Chennai for the first time ever.
"Rashid Khan is the trump card for Gujarat. If they want wickets, they bring him. And then the way Hardik has used Rashid, it is commendable. Rashid likes to break partnerships and now he has become the most successful bowler of this season on the basis of his excellent performance," said Sehwag.

Hello and welcome to our coverage of the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) Qualifier 1, with defending champions Gujarat Titans taking on four-time winners Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai with the winner of today's game directly qualifying for the final.
GT vs CSK Qualifier 1 Highlights: GT 157 all out. Mohammed Shami is dismissed off the final ball of the match, with Deepak Chahar pulling off a superb catch near long on as Chennai Super Kings enter the IPL final for a 10th time with a 15-run win. This is also the first time CSK have beaten GT, having lost each of their last three meetings.
GT vs CSK Qualifier 1 preview: Defending champions Gujarat Titans take on four-time winners Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1 as 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) playoffs get underway at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday.
IPL 2023: Full coverage | Points table | Schedule | Results | Orange Cap | Purple Cap
GT and CSK, the two teams that squared off in the tournament opener at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on 31 March, finished in the top two slots with 20 and 17 points respectively with the Titans topping the table for a second season in a row since making their debut last year along with the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
CSK were tied with LSG on 17 points, given the fixture between the two at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium earlier this month had been rained off, but finished ahead on the table due to their superior Net Run Rate.
As far as the head-to-head record between the two teams goes, it’s 3-0 in favour of Gujarat at the moment. The Hardik Pandya-led side have pulled off a hat-trick of chases against MS Dhoni and Co — winning by three wickets and seven wickets last season. In the first game of the 16th edition, Gujarat managed to chase down the 179-run target set by Chennai with five wickets and four deliveries to spare.
While the winner of this contest progresses directly into the final that takes place at the Narendra Modi Stadium this Sunday, the loser will have another shot at making the final as they take on the winner of the Eliminator between LSG and Mumbai Indians, which takes place on Wednesday, 24 May.
Teams:
