SRH vs CSK IPL 2025 Prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad are set to lock horns Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2025 on Friday (April 25) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
The two teams currently occupy the two bottom spots in the table. CSK are currently 10th in the table with 4 points in eight matches. SRH are with same number of points but just edge to 9th spot for a better Net Run Rate.

Chennai Super Kings have historically dominated this rivalry. Out of 21 matches played between the two sides, CSK have emerged victorious on 15 occasions, while SRH have won just six. What’s more damning for Sunrisers is their record at the Chepauk — they have never beaten CSK at this venue, losing all five of their previous encounters here. This psychological edge adds significant weight to CSK's prospects despite their current form.
Both teams have had underwhelming campaigns in IPL 2025. Chennai Super Kings find themselves at the bottom of the points table with just two wins from eight matches. Their most recent outing was a nine-wicket hammering by Mumbai Indians, which exposed their fragile top order and lack of control with the ball. Questions are being raised about their approach, and the pressure on senior players is mounting.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are just one spot above CSK but are equally desperate. While their batting has shown sparks, including the unforgettable 286-run demolition of a bowling attack earlier this season, their inconsistency in the middle overs and death bowling has cost them crucial points. The form of their overseas stars has fluctuated, and the team hasn't yet found a stable balance.
The MA Chidambaram Stadium is known for its slow and spin-friendly surface, especially in the first innings. Batting becomes easier under lights due to dew, which means teams winning the toss generally prefer to chase. Scores in the region of 160-170 are often defendable here, provided bowlers hit the right lengths and pace variations are executed well.
Despite both teams struggling, Chennai Super Kings may head into this contest with a slight edge. Their unbeaten record at Chepauk against SRH plays heavily into their favor, and local knowledge of pitch conditions could make a tangible difference. Additionally, this match marks a milestone for MS Dhoni, who is set to feature in his 400th T20 match, adding emotional weight and possibly inspiration for a turnaround.
SRH, however, have the firepower to disrupt any plans, especially if their top order fires. However, the tactical nuance required at Chepauk, coupled with their historically poor record there, means the odds are stacked against them.
It is a must-win match for both teams as the defeat of either would probably end the playoff hopes. Considering the factors, we reckon SRH may come out with all 2 points.
