IPL 2025 CSK vs SRH Match Prediction: Who will win today’s match? MS Dhoni looks to make CSK’s return to winning ways at Chepauk in his 400th T20
CSK vs SRH Match Prediction: The most successful team in the history of the IPL, the glory of the Chennai Super Kings are fading away. Since several teams have made unimaginable comebacks in the IPL in the past, it would be too early to rule any team out so early.
These two teams the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings are currently the two teams at the bottom of the points table. They also have the lowest run-rates in this edition of the IPL.
But for either of these two teams to make a bounce back, everything has to be set right and nothing should go against the set plan. Both sides have gone through the roughest patch due to weak batting performances. However, the CSK bowlers did a fairly good job, though same cannot be said about the Sunrisers bowlers.

CSK vs SRH Match Prediction: Pitch Report
This year at Chepauk as well, the spinners have had their control at the Chennai Stadium. Spinners have struck for most of the wickets, taking 27 of the 50 wickets that have fallen in Chennai this season. However, CSK batters themselves have also failed to score runs on their home ground, as they marked a humorous score of 99/9 in their 20 overs against KKR on this venue. CSK will look to favour these conditions, while not so for SRH who have not had their spinners count in this edition.

CSK vs SRH Match Prediction: Winner Prediction
The Sunrisers Hyderabad team have never won a single match on this venue at Chepauk. Even in their best seasons in 2016, 2018 and 2024, they have not managed wins on this venue. CSK, who are considered the most invincible side on their home ground, have failed to dominate at home this time around.
However, seeing the dominance of spinners on this venue, Heinrich Klaasen, the most consistent SRH batter, has been prolific somewhat against spin this time around. Also, Noor Ahmed vs Klaasen will be very crucial in every context of the game.
MS Dhoni will star in his 400th T20 game and will look to lead his side to victory, having won the last match himself with the bat. Rahul Chahar is the best spinner with the record at Chepauk as he also lowers the strike rates of Dhoni, Jadeja and Dube to less than 100, picking 14 wickets to his name. While Pathirana can be the solution to Klaasen’s havoc.
CSK might be handed the home venue advantage, however, SRH look better as a side in this edition of the IPL.
