Match Preview: CSK vs SRH
Both Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad come into this match with much to prove. While neither side has truly dominated the 2025 season, this game presents an opportunity to bounce back and gather momentum heading into the business end of the league stage.
Chennai Super Kings, a five-time champion, have struggled this season, winning just 5 of their last 15 matches. With a win percentage of only 33.33%, they are desperate to turn their fortunes around. SRH isn’t far ahead either, winning 6 of their last 17 games and carrying a win percentage of 35.29%. A win here is crucial for both.
Head-to-Head: CSK vs SRH
Historically, CSK has enjoyed dominance over SRH. In 22 encounters between the two sides, CSK has won 16, while SRH managed only 6 victories. At Chepauk, CSK’s stronghold, their chances of extending this lead look promising.
Venue Report: MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
The Chepauk pitch is known for being spin-friendly and low-scoring, especially in the second innings. Teams winning the toss often prefer to bat first and apply pressure with spin later. Dew can play a role in night games, but Chennai’s spin attack gives them an edge in such conditions.
Key Players to Watch
For CSK:
Ruturaj Gaikwad: CSK’s consistent top-order performer with 464 runs in the past year, he’s vital at the top.
Noor Ahmad: The Afghan spinner has picked up 12 wickets and will be crucial on the turning track.
Ravindra Jadeja & Ashwin: With years of experience and familiarity with the pitch, these two all-rounders can create havoc.
MS Dhoni: Though nearing the twilight of his career, Dhoni’s leadership and finishing prowess can never be underestimated.
For SRH:
Heinrich Klaasen: Their top batter with 492 runs, he’ll be the key against Chennai’s spin battery.
Pat Cummins: With 16 wickets, the Aussie pacer provides early breakthroughs and control at the death.
Ishan Kishan: Offers firepower at the top and behind the stumps.
Abhishek Sharma: An explosive all-rounder who can change games with both bat and ball.
Predicted XIs
Chennai Super Kings: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devon Conway, Shivam Dube, Deepak Hooda, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Rachin Ravindra, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Noor Ahmad, Matheesha Pathirana, Mukesh Choudhary
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Ishan Kishan (wk), Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Reddy, Wiaan Mulder, Pat Cummins (c), Rahul Chahar, Mohammad Shami, Harshal Patel, Kamindu Mendis
Match Prediction
While both teams are fairly matched on recent form, CSK’s record at Chepauk gives them the upper hand. The combination of experienced spinners and familiar conditions makes them favorites. However, if SRH bat first and post a challenging total, their pace attack, led by Cummins and Shami, can make life difficult for the CSK batters.
Winexch Prediction Verdict
According to expert insights on Winexch, CSK is slightly ahead with a 56% chance of winning. The spin-friendly Chennai track, home crowd, and Dhoni's tactical prowess tilt the scale in CSK's favor.
