The third and last playoff game, the Qualifier 2 match, will be played between defending champs Gujarat Titans and five-time IPL champs Mumbai Indians on May 24, and the winner will face Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2023 Final on May 28. There is immense pressure on both MI and GT. MI has been performing with an underdog spirit and qualified over several tough teams like RCB, RR, KKR and PBKS.
GT, on the other hand, topped the table during the league stage and looked invincible coming into the playoffs. But you can never underestimate the guile of MS Dhoni-led CSK. Hopefully, whichever teams reach the finals, GT or MI, will make sure to deliver an exciting game to the fans.
