Gujarat will be eyeing a season double over Chennai when the two sides meet at Wankhede Stadium in match 62 of the Indian T20 League 2022 season. The table-toppers sealed their place in the playoffs after a crushing win over Gujarat, and another two points will seal a top-two finish. Meanwhile, Chennai suffered a five-wicket loss at the hands of Mumbai. It was their eighth defeat in the 15th edition.
We look at five interesting First Games fantasy cricket Match-Ups in the Chennai-Gujarat match.
READ: Lucknow vs Rajasthan Match-Ups
R GAIKWAD vs H PANDYA
Can Ruturaj Gaikwad score a second successive half-century against Gujarat? The Chennai batter's 48-ball 73 helped the defending champions post 169 against the newly-formed franchise. Hardik Pandya, Gujarat's second-leading run-scorer, has made just 49 runs in his last five outings. However, the all-rounder is likely to win the Match-Up against Ruturaj.
Average fantasy points (per match) in 2022 season:
R Gaikwad - 38.33 ; H Pandya - 54.72
R TEWATIA vs A RAYUDU
Rahul Tewatia has been one of the vital cogs for Gujarat this season. While batting at No. 6, the former Rajasthan player has won a few matches for the Ahmedabad-based side. Ambati Rayudu, on the other hand, has managed just one half-century this season. He had picked up 58 fantasy points against Gujarat in match 29 and could grab more points than Tewatia on Sunday.
Average fantasy points (per match) in 2022 season:
R Tewatia - 26.41; A Rayudu - 34.33
W SAHA vs D BRAVO
Wriddhiman Saha faces a tough challenge as he takes on Dwayne Bravo in an all-overseas Match-Up. The Gujarat wicket-keeper batter has collected 30+ fantasy points in six of the seven matches. However, the in-form West Indies T20 legend is the favorite to win this Match-Up. He has 16 wickets in ten matches, including a three-wicket haul against Gujarat.

W Saha - 53; D Bravo - 48.20
M SHAMI vs M CHOUDHARY
Mohammed Shami excelled in Gujarat's crushing win over Lucknow. He picked up 1/5 in his three overs and extended his tally to 16 wickets in the 15th edition. Chennai pacer Mukesh Choudhary registered figures of 3/23 in his last outing at Wankhede Stadium. With 16 wickets, the 25-year-old is the joint-leading wicket-taker for his franchise. Mukesh has the advantage over Shami in this Match-Up.
Average fantasy points (per match) in 2022 season:
M Shami - 38.83; M Choudhary - 41.72
S GILL VS R KHAN
Rashid Khan and Shubman Gill combined picked up 202 fantasy points against Lucknow. The Afghanistan spinner grabbed his maiden four-wicket haul in Indian T20 League, while the Gujarat opener struck a second successive half-century. Given the form of two players, this Match-Up could be evenly-contested, with Rashid likely to emerge the winner.
