The Gujarat Titans will host the five-time champions Chennai Super Kings at the Narendra Modi Stadium on May 21 at 7:30 PM (IST), as they aim for a top-2 finish with this last league game.

GT are comfortably placed second on the table with 16 points in 13 matches, and a win would most likely guarantee a spot in Qualifier 1 for them, which would mean they will have two shots to reach the final. On the other hand, CSK have squandered their chance to finish in the top-4 on their own, and a win would not necessarily confirm a fourth-place finish for them.

Considering the scenarios, both teams have all to play for in their final league game. For GT, it would be a matter of finishing the league phase strong after a bump in the road in the last match, while CSK would like to end a topsy-turvy league stage on a high, irrespective of what lies ahead for them.

This will be the final match in Ahmedabad ahead of the playoffs and below is a brief look at the conditions on offer for the clash.
