Fri Apr 25 14:50:00 UTC 2025: ## Chennai Super Kings Face Must-Win Match Against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025
**Chennai, India** – In a crucial encounter for both teams, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Friday, April 25th, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. This IPL 2025 match marks a pivotal moment for both sides, currently languishing at the bottom of the points table.
The match is especially significant for MS Dhoni, who will be playing his 400th T20 match. CSK, who have lost 7 out of their 8 matches, and SRH, who have won only 2 out of their 8 matches, are desperate for a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. A loss for either team would almost certainly eliminate them from contention.
Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and opted to bowl first. CSK made two changes to their playing XI, bringing in Dewald Brevis and Deepak Hooda, replacing Ruturaj Gaikwad and Vijay Shankar respectively. Sam Curran also replaced Jamie Overton.
Early wickets hampered CSK’s innings. Several key batsmen, including Ayush Badoni, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja and Dewald Brevis, fell relatively early, leaving CSK struggling to reach a competitive total. Brevis top-scored for CSK with 42 runs.
The match is a closely fought battle, with both teams vying for a much-needed victory. The live score and further updates will be available throughout the game. The outcome of this match will heavily influence the remaining playoff race.
