The Chennai Super Kings will face the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. The match will commence at 07:30 pm. Both teams have struggled to perform this season, but we cannot rule out any team as of now from the playoff race. Both teams have lost 6 out of the eight matches they have played in the IPL 2025.
This match will be a great opportunity for both teams to reflect upon their mistakes. After losing the last match against the Mumbai Indians, CSK has almost lost the chance of getting qualified for the playoffs, but still, they can make an impact in this season by winning the rest of their matches comprehensively.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad lost their last match against the Mumbai Indians by 7 wickets and have lost two consecutive matches against the MI Paltan. Players like Ishan Kishan, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen were unable to win matches for SRH, which clearly shows how this star-studded lineup has been unable to deliver up to their capabilities. This match will be a great opportunity, as the batting lineup of Hyderabad likes spin tracks, and Chepauk is known for them.
Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad IPL 2025: Weather and Pitch Report
As per Accuweather, the temperature during the CSK vs SRH is predicted to stay around 28 to 37 degrees Celsius and there is 27% chance of rain in the night.
Ideally, the pitch has been spin-friendly in the Chepauk, but this season we have seen a different story as it gets easier for batters to score runs even in the middle overs, which wasn’t the case earlier. The team winning the toss would go for fielding first as there are Dew factors involved.
