Wriddhiman Saha's unbeaten 67* at the top led GT to a 7-wicket victory as they skillfully hunted down the opposition with five balls to spare. Wriddhiman Saha smashed three fours in the first over for GT, who were chasing 134 for victory. In the third over, Mukesh Choudhary gave the wicketkeeper-batter a reprieve. In the fifth over, Saha hit his first six of the game. After Gill hit consecutive fours, the fifty partnership was over for the first wicket, and GT were 53-0 after 6 overs. Pathirana ended the partnership when Gill was caught LBW, and GT were 81/1 at the halfway point. After Wade was caught at long-on, Moeen Ali provided the second breakthrough. Pathirana took his second wicket in the 14th over, dismissing GT captain Hardik Pandya. Saha reached his half-century, and GT needed 17 runs off the final four overs. Earlier, CSK, who chose to bat first, made four changes to their lineup: N Jagadeesan, Prashant Solanki, Mitchell Santner, and Matheesha Pathirana were all named to the eleven. GT controlled the ball tight after CSK were 73/2 at the end of the first half. Gaikwad continued to attack, and N Jagadeesan joined him. The next two overs yielded only 11 runs before Shami scalped his second wicket to dismiss the CSK captain in the knockout stage over, as CSK finished the first innings on 133/5.
