IPL 2023 Qualifier 2: The Indian Premier League Playoffs are over and once again, Chennai Super Kings have secured a place in the finals. CSK qualified for the IPL final for a record 10th time after defeating IPL table-toppers Gujarat Titans in Qualifier 1. However, Gujarat Titans will have another chance to progress to the final and exacted revenge on May 26 in the Qualifier 2 match against Mumbai Indians.
The third and final playoff match, the Qualifier 2 match, will be played between defending champions Gujarat Titans and five-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians on May 24 and the winner will face Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2023 Final on May 28. There is huge pressure on both MI and GT. MI played with poor spirit and overcame some tough teams like RCB, RR, KKR and PBKS.
GT, on the other hand, topped the table in the league stage and looked invincible when it came to the playoffs. But you can never underestimate the tricks of CSK led by MS Dhoni. Hopefully, whichever team reaches the finals, GT or MI will definitely bring an exciting match to the fans.
