In the last five CSK vs SRH head-to-head encounters of the Indian Premier League (IPL) between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the former is leading with a scoreline of 3-2 between the two sides.
The two franchises will meet each other on April 25, 2025, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Both sides, standing at the last two positions of the points table, will be under pressure to bring their best game in this encounter.
Going into the CSK vs SRH fixture of the 2025 edition, Chennai is the worst team in terms of scoring runs in the middle overs (7-15). In eight innings, they have collected just 492 runs at an average of below 20 and a strike rate of 113.89, thanks to the highest score of 86.

One of the biggest reasons for the sides not to get many runs on the board during this phase is that they have lost so many wickets in the middle. Their loss of 25 scalps is the most in this duration by any franchise in the season so far.
Before the CSK vs SRH fixture, the Sunrisers had cracked the code in the middle overs with 572 runs in seven innings at an average of 31.78 and a strike rate of 151.88 with the best score of 122, which they gained against the Rajasthan Royals in their opening encounter of the edition.
The 2016 champions have lost 18 wickets during this period besides conceding 44 boundaries and 29 sixes. But they need to understand the right balance between the balance and aggression of the players.
