Fri Apr 25 18:30:00 UTC 2025: ## Sunrisers Hyderabad Clinch First IPL 2025 Away Win Against CSK

**Chennai, April 27:** Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) secured a crucial five-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Chepauk Stadium, ending their winless streak against CSK at this venue and registering their first away win of IPL 2025. CSK, meanwhile, suffered their fourth consecutive home defeat.

SRH’s disciplined bowling performance restricted CSK to a modest 154 all out. Harshal Patel led the bowling attack with a four-wicket haul (4-28), while Kamindu Mendis contributed with a stunning catch to dismiss Dewald Brevis (42), who had otherwise impressed with a 25-ball cameo including four sixes. Despite early momentum fueled by Ayush Mhatre’s 30, CSK’s middle order struggled against the SRH bowling attack. The slow pitch and accurate bowling proved to be a winning combination for SRH.

Chasing 155, SRH overcame a shaky start, losing early wickets including Abhishek Sharma for a duck. However, Ishan Kishan’s 44 and crucial contributions from Nitish Reddy and Kamindu Mendis steered them to victory with five wickets and over an over to spare. Mendis and Reddy showcased clinical finishing, smashing boundaries in the death overs to secure the win.

The match saw a tight contest in the middle overs, with both teams exchanging wickets. But SRH ultimately capitalized on the dew and effectively navigated the final stages of the chase. The unbeaten 49-run partnership between Mendis and Reddy proved to be the difference.

**Brief Scores:** Chennai Super Kings 154 all out (Dewald Brevis 42; Harshal Patel 4-28) lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad 155/5 in 18.4 overs (Ishan Kishan 44) by 5 wickets.

CSK will next face Punjab Kings on April 30th, while SRH will travel to Ahmedabad to take on Gujarat Titans on May 2nd.
