CSK vs SRH Dream11 Prediction IPL 2025 Match-43, Team News, Pitch Report, Squad, Fantasy Teams

Match 43 of the Tata IPL 2025 is going to be a bottom-of-the-table clash. Bottom placed 5-time champions Chennai Super Kings will take on 9th-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

Both teams have struggled throughout the competition and are almost out of the playoff race. Both Sunrisers and Super Kings have just 2 wins from 8 games and have 6 matches left in their kitty. From here on, both teams need to win all their remaining fixtures to have a bleak hope of making it to the playoffs. All in all, this is a knockout game, as the winner of this game will keep their hopes alive, and the loser will get eliminated.

Both the skippers, Pat Cummins (SRH) and MS Dhoni (CSK), have been awful with their tactics and defensive approach. With this being a do-or-die game, an aggressive sort of captaincy with some unique planning will be necessary in this fixture.

Let’s delve deeper into this post for the CSK vs SRH Dream11 Prediction.

CSK vs SRH, MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, Pitch Report

The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai has been unpredictable in IPL 2025. While the surface has assisted bowlers early on, batters have found it easier to play their shots in the second innings as the ball comes onto the bat better. Teams batting first have struggled to accelerate, with boundaries becoming harder to find once the ball gets older. Dew hasn’t played a major role, but a 160-170 total is considered competitive. With CSK and SRH both needing a win, expect a tactical battle where bowlers could dictate terms early on before the batters take control later.

Here’s a structured table showcasing IPL stats for the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai:

CSK vs SRH Team News and Expected Playing XI

CSK Team News

• CSK’s batting lineup has been a big disappointment. Therefore, changes are on the cards, like the last game.
• Devon Conway isn’t available as he has returned home after the demise of his father.
• Rachin Ravindra, being in awful form, should make way for Dewald Brevis, who can bat anywhere from 1 to 5.
• If Ravindra gets dropped, youngsters Shaik Rasheed and Ayush Mhatre can open the innings, or even Brevis can open with Rasheed.
• Ravichandran Ashwin will keep his place in the eleven, as Chennai’s wicket is slow and supports the spinners.
• Matheesha Pathirana has been taken to the cleaners this season, and still, the management isn’t thinking of dropping him.

CSK Expected Playing XI: Shaik Rasheed, Rachin Ravindra/Dewald Brevis, Ayush Mhatre, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube, Vijay Shankar/Deepak Hooda, Jamie Overton, MS Dhoni (C/WK), Ravichandran Ashwin, Noor Ahmad, K Khaleel Ahmed
IMPACT PLAYERS: Matheesha Pathirana

SRH Team News

• Eshan Malinga might make way for fellow countryman Kamindu Mendis. He is an all-rounder who could be crucial at this venue, which supports slow bowlers. Also, he is a brilliant batter in the middle overs.
• Irresponsible batting has been a concern for SRH throughout the season. The batters should focus on playing 20 overs, not scoring 300.
• One between Mohammad Shami or Abhinav Manohar could come in as an impact sub.
• With the wicket set to assist slow bowlers, Rahul Chahar’s case should be strong in this game as a second spinner.

SRH Expected Playing XI: Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen (WK), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kamindu Mendis/Eshan Malinga, Aniket Verma, Pat Cummins (C), Harshal Patel,  Jaydev Unadkat/Rahul Chahar, Zeeshan Ansari
IMPACT PLAYERS: Mohammed Shami, Abhinav Manohar
