CSK vs SRH Pitch Report IPL 2025, Match 43

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will be under immense pressure when they take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match no. 43 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Friday evening. This match will be played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

At the start of the season, no one would have predicted that after game week 8, both CSK and SRH would be sitting in the bottom two. These two teams boast some quality players who, on any given day, can win a match on their own. But such has been their form this season—with both winning only twice in their first eight matches—that they are nowhere near the level they should be.

Also, if either of these two teams wants to remain in contention for the playoffs, they have to win this game. The gap between them and the top four is six points heading into this match.
