Today is an important match for Gujarat

Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans now have equal points. Both of them have played 8 matches and they have 8 points by winning 4 matches. But GT's net run rate is very poor, so CSK is ahead of them.

Now today there is an important fight between Delhi and Gujarat. If GT's team manages to register a win today, GT can move ahead of CSK with 10 points.

If Delhi manage to win today, they will have 8 points and will go level with GT and CSK. Now every match has increased in importance. One match would be enough to take them closer and further away from the playoffs.
