Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) registered a solid 5-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in their IPL 2025 clash held at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The match, which began at 7:30 PM, saw SRH chase down a target of 155 with five wickets in hand and eight balls to spare.
Chennai Super Kings were bowled out for 154 in 19.5 overs.

Opener Ayush Mhatre provided a brisk start with a quickfire 30 off 19 balls, hitting six boundaries. However, CSK’s innings faltered as they struggled to build lasting partnerships. Harshal Patel was the standout performer with the ball for SRH, finishing with figures of 4 for 28 in his full quota of 4 overs. His timely strikes ensured CSK couldn't gain momentum in the latter half of their innings.
In response, Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down the target comfortably, scoring 155 for 5 in 18.4 overs. Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan led the charge with a fluent 44 off 34 balls, smashing five boundaries and a six. Kamindu Mendis chipped in with a handy 32 off 22 balls, hitting three boundaries to keep the scoreboard ticking. Among CSK’s bowlers, Noor Ahmad was the most effective, claiming 2 wickets for 42 runs in his 4 overs, though the rest of the bowling unit failed to contain the SRH batters effectively.
