🔎 Match Preview – CSK vs SRH, IPL 2025
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are set to face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 43 of IPL 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, on Friday, April 25, at 7:30 PM IST.
Both teams are struggling at the bottom of the points table with just 2 wins in 8 matches each. CSK, led by the legendary MS Dhoni, are coming off a heavy nine-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians, and their playoff chances are hanging by a thread. Their middle order has failed to fire, and the bowling hasn’t been able to defend moderate totals.
SRH’s campaign has mirrored CSK’s misfortunes. After a strong season last year, they’ve faltered in 2025, with inconsistent top-order performances and an underwhelming bowling display. With little to lose, both teams will be looking to salvage pride and get a much-needed win.
