In what is going to be the first match between these two teams at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, it will also be their first match in the playoffs against each other. Having won the toss and elected to field twice in the past, Gujarat would be keen to register their fourth-successive successful run-chase against Chennai tomorrow.

Having said that, doing the same wouldn’t be a mean task at Chepauk taking into consideration the home team’s record at this stadium. It is noteworthy that MS Dhoni and his men have won 44 and lost just 18 matches in the city over the years. Furthermore, CSK score at an average run rate of 8.28 at a stadium whose average IPL run rate has been 7.97 in all these years.
