Gujarat will face Chennai on May 10, 2024, at Narendra Modi Stadium. With only 8 points in 11 games, Gujarat is at the top-bottom while Chennai is in fourth with 12 points in 11 games.
Gujarat has been in awful form this season in the Indian T20 League, having lost three back-to-back games. Gujarat has scored three times below 150 in their last five games, with one match featuring a scorecard of only 89 runs. The absence of Gujarat’s star performer from last season, H. Pandya, can easily be seen in the Gujarat camp. Meanwhile, Chennai has always been on a consistently good run, but they have lost three games in their last five. However, they are confident after beating Punjab by 28 runs in their last game.
Let’s go for a detailed match prediction for Gujarat vs Chennai match prediction for match no 59 in Indian T20 League, covering their previous encounters, top-performing players to include in your fantasy teams, and who is likely to secure a victory.

Gujarat has only one player, S. Sudarshan, in the top 20 highest run-scorers in the Indian T20 League this season, reflecting their challenging campaign.
Chennai is managing without key pacers M. Rahman and M. Pathirana, while M.S. Dhoni is expected to play despite health concerns. Gujarat may consider benching W. Saha due to his poor performances. Here are the predicted lineups:
Gujarat | Chennai |
M. Wade (wk) | R. Ravindra |
S. Gill (c) | R. Gaikwad (c) |
S. Sudarshan | D. Mitchell |
D. Miller | S. Dube |
S. Khan | M. Ali |
R. Tewatia | S. Rizvi |
R. Khan | R. Jadeja |
S. Kishore | M.S. Dhoni (wk) |
N. Ahmad | M. Santner |
M. Sharma | S. Thakur |
S. Warrier | T. Deshpande |

A. Manohar | S. Singh |
We have previously seen teams qualify with 14 points, and right now Gujarat is on 8 points in 11 games. They will try their best to reach 14 points, starting with this match. With S. Khan and S. Sudarshan in form, they could make things difficult for Chennai. On the other hand, Chennai is missing two top-form bowlers, M. Pathirana and M. Rahman. The pressure on Deshpande will be huge.
However, our prediction is that Chennai might come out on top, even without some key players. The match is likely to go down to the wire, as we don’t anticipate a one-sided game.
