SRH set to claim first-ever win over CSK in Chennai

Although CSK put up a valiant fight, Kamindu's undefeated 32 off 22 helped SRH win. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their first-ever meeting in Chennai thanks to three-pronged performances from Kamindu Mendis and Harshal Patel, who used the centre of the pitch. SRH will be hoping that the victory can turn around a struggling season.

Although they gave SRH a scare on the dry pitch, Dewald Brevis, making his CSK debut, and Ayush Mhatre, the youngest CSK player ever in just his second innings, threatened to breathe new life into a stale CSK campaign. However, the 154 they managed to get CSK to was insufficient to prevent their fourth home loss in the IPL 2025. Despite heavy dew for a significant portion of the game, the batters only managed to overcome the circumstances in limited areas, creating the type of slugfest you would anticipate from poorly positioned sides on a challenging field.
