MUMBAI: Gujarat Titans' bowlers put up a fine all-round show to choke Chennai Super Kings, especially by not conceding a boundary in the death overs, before Wriddhiman Saha starred with an unbeaten 67 to complete a comfortable seven-wicket win in match 62 of IPL 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday.

After Gujarat restricted Chennai to a below-par 133/5 despite a 49-ball 53 from Ruturaj Gaikwad, Saha carried his bat through the innings to help them chase down the total with five balls to spare. The result also means that Gujarat have confirmed their spot in the top two of the points table, which means they will get to play in Qualifier 1 at Kolkata on May 24.

Brief scores: Chennai Super Kings 133/5 in 20 overs (Ruturaj Gaikwad 53, N Jagadeesan 39 not out; Mohammed Shami 2/19, Alzarri Joseph 1/15) lost to Gujarat Titans 137/3 in 19.1 overs (Wriddhiman Saha 67 not out, Matthew Wade 20; Matheesha Pathirana 2/24, Moeen Ali 1/11). IANS
