IPL 2025, Match - 43 | CSK vs SRH | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 43rd game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. This clash is pivotal for both teams as they vie for playoff positions in the tournament.​

Chennai Super Kings are already out of the IPL, and now they have to play for their pride. MS Dhoni is doing the captaincy for the side after Ruturaj Gaikwad was ruled out due to injury. CSK lost their last match against the Mumbai Indians by nine wickets, which was a huge defeat for them as they were humiliated by Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav. With two wins, four points, and the worst net run rate in the league, CSK is at the bottom of the league table.

On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have not had a peachy time this season so far either. They kicked the season off with a massive win over the Rajasthan Royals, but followed it with four losses in a row. In their last game, they lost to Mumbai Indians. SRH were restricted to 143 for 8. Getting to that total was an achievement for them after they had slumped to 35 for 5, with Heinrich Klaasen hauling them to something like respectability with a superb 71 off 44 balls.
