The 43rd match of IPL 2025 will be played between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on 25 April at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. This match is very important for both the teams, as both are struggling this season and are on the verge of being eliminated from the playoff race. Let’s know about this match in detail.
Current status of CSK and SRH – Both CSK and SRH have lost six matches so far this season. The recent performance of both the teams has been disappointing, and they lost against Mumbai Indians (MI) in their last match. The SRH team has not won any match at CSK’s home ground Chepauk so far, and their record against CSK has also been very poor. In such a situation, this match is an important opportunity for them, where they can get back their lost rhythm.
