The 43rd match of IPL 2025 will witness a high-stakes clash between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk), Chennai, on 25th April. Both teams have struggled this season, winning only 2 out of 8 matches each, and will be desperate for a turnaround.
The weather in Chennai is expected to be hot and humid, with temperatures around 30-33°C during the match. There is no chance of rain, thus the game will go on without interruption. Dew might have an impact on the decision to toss in the second inning.
The Chepauk pitch traditionally favors spin bowlers, offering grip and turn as the game progresses. Batters need to adapt to the slow nature of the surface, with 150-170 being a competitive total. Teams batting first have historically had an advantage, but dew in the second innings could level the playing field.
CSK has dominated SRH historically, but Hyderabad will look to improve their record in this crucial encounter.
1.Shaik Rasheed, 2.Rachin Ravindra, 3.Ayush Mhatre, 4.Ravindra Jadeja, 5.Shivam Dube, 6.MS Dhoni (C & WK), 7.Vijay Shankar, 8.Jamie Overton, 9.Noor Ahmad, 10.Khaleel Ahmed, 11.Matheesha Pathirana
1.Travis Head, 2.Abhishek Sharma, 3.Ishan Kishan (WK), 4.Nitish Kumar Reddy, 5.Heinrich Klaasen, 6.Aniket Verma, 7.Pat Cummins (C), 8.Harshal Patel, 9.Zeeshan Ansari, 10.Jaydev Unadkat, 11.Smaran-R / Eshan Malinga
Even though both teams have had a difficult season, CSK has the advantage because of their solid record versus SRH and home field advantage at Chepauk. However, SRH’s aggressive batting lineup could pose a threat if they adapt well to the slow pitch.
Predicted Winner: Chennai Super Kings (CSK)
For both sides to maintain their prospects of making the playoffs, this game is essential. CSK will rely on experience and spin domination, while SRH will rely on their explosive batting. Expect a thrilling contest at Chepauk!
