Welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the IPL 2025 match between Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
Zeeshan Ansari into the attack. He begins with a slider into the pads to Brevis, cannot bring his bat down on time, this one hits the pads but going down leg.
FOUR! A length ball outside off, Brevis goes into his crease and whacks this down the ground. Brevis cuts the third delivery and a misfield at backward point gets him two.
The fourth delivery is a leg spinner on the off stump, Brevis makes room and cuts this to deep point for a single. Jadeja now facing Ansari. He gets the first ball outside off, taps to point, no run.
PUT DOWN! Harshal Patel has put down a sitter. Jadeja skies this one while going down the ground, Harshal gets under it, has ample time to settle under it but somehow pops this out of his hands.
Cummins for his second over. A yorker to Mhatre, digs it out to mid off for one run. Cummins bowls back-of-a-length to Jadeja, who pulls this, gets an under edge and takes a single to short fine leg.
WICKET! Mhatre would be upset with himself. This is in the slot, Mhatre wants to chip this over mid off, does not clear the fielder and Ishan Kishan takes a comfortable catch.
Ayush Mhatre c Kishan b Cummins 30(19)
Finally, Dewald Brevis walks in at No. 5. On the off stump to him, Brevis drives off his front foot, gets a run before mid off cuts this off. Cummins bowls into the pads to Jadeja, clips it to deep square leg for one. An inside edge onto the pads for Brevis, runs one to point. 
Harshal Patel to bowl the next. Curran gets a length ball angling into his off stump first up, drives down the ground for a single to mid off.
Harshal to Mhatre, a slower ball on the off-stump line, Mhatre hits across the line, but there’s a deep midwicket in place which keeps it down to one.
GONE! Curran picks the deep midwicket fielder. A bumper from Harshal, Curran pulls but only into the hands of the fielder.
Sam Curran c Aniket b Harshal 9(10)
Ravindra Jadeja walks in at 4. He, or rather his bat, fails the measuring test and he needs to get in a replacement. FOUR! A floater outside off, Jadeja drives hard at this and gets an edge past short third. Another slower ball, wide outside off, Jadeja slashes this down the ground but cannot get it past the bowler due to lack of pace. 
Two runs off the final delivery, Cummins misfields at mid off which allows the batting pair a couple.
Jaydev Unadkat into the attack. Mahtre on strike. He starts with a slower one on the off stump line, Mhatre is wanting to heave this over covers, does not get enough power behind it, lands just short of covers and the batters run a single.
Unadkat bowls on the pads to Curran, clips it to deep square leg for one run. FOUR! Another slower delivery, predictable! Mhatre waits for it to reach him and swats it back over the bowler’s head.
FOUR more! A full toss, Mhatre does not go for power this time, places this between extra covers and covers. There are five fielders on the off side from mid on to point yet Mhatre manages to pick the gap. Mhatre tries to chip the final delivery over covers again, bumps it into the ground and the fielder cuts it off.
Shami again. A mix up between the batters. Curran hits the first delivery to mid on, Mhatre wants a single but Curran is not too sure. The fielder fumbles the ball which eventually allows the single.
Shami goes wider on the second, Mhatre tries to but hits it into the ground, no run. FOUR! Shami tries a bouncer, Mhatre gets on top of the bounce and pummels this over midwicket. Mhatre makes room on the fourth delivery, tries to place this between the fielders at covers and extra covers, cannot do it, dot ball.
The fifth is a slower bouncer, Mhatre pulls, gets an under edge onto his body, gets through to the other end before the slip fielder collects this. 
FOUR for Curran! He reads the off-cutter, sets himself up for this delivery outside off, pulls this away past mid on.
Pat Cummins to bowl the second over. FOUR! Mhatre gives this length ball a proper whack through covers, does not move his feet, does not need to given the width. Cummins bowls the second slightly fuller, on the off-stump line, Mhatre taps this through the off side for a single.
Cummins to Curran, a length ball going across him, Curran drives and then denies a single to his partner. Another dot ball, the fourth is straighter, into the midrif of Curran, flicks it towards midwicket.
Cummins goes around the wicket now, he goes full on the fifth and fires it into the pads, Curran clips to mid on for one run.
FOUR! Mhatre closes the over with a boundary. A back-of-a-length ball, Mhatre heaves this down the ground, Ishan Kishan takes a couple of steps back from mid off to try and grab this but the ball beats him and runs to the fence.
Shami to Rasheed, WICKET! Shami strikes first ball. Rasheed departs for a golden duck! He pitches this outside off at a length, the ball moves away from the right-hander, Rasheed pokes at it on the up, gets his edge to first slip.
Shaik Rasheed c Abhishek b Shami 0(1)
Sam Curran at No. 3. A No Ball! Shami distrubs the stumps at the non-striker’s end while loading up for that delivery. A Free Hit coming up! A yorker from Shami, Curran digs it out to point and runs one.
Shami to Mhatre now, another length delivery that shapes away from Mhatre, who punches this to point, no run. Shami pulls his length back on the fourth delivery, Mhatre punches through covers, no run. FOUR! Shami strays in line and Mhatre punishes it. Cuts this away past covers. Mhatre gets the last delivery on his stumps, turns the bat face towards mid on and gets a single.
So Ayush Mhatre is the only one who makes it to the top two. He will join Shaik Rasheed. Dewald Brevis should be batting at one drop. 
Mohammed Shami to bowl the first over.
With Brevis making it into the CSK playing XI, the side might see the new pair of Brevis and Mhatre start the proceedings. The latter was a breath of fresh air against Mumbai Indians, especially for a side struggling at the top for impetus, and the addition of the Protea only solidifies it up front.
CSK: Anshul Kamboj, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Ramakrishna Ghosh, Jamie Overton
SRH: Travis Head, Abhinav Manohar, Sachin Baby, Rahul Chahar, Wiaan Mulder
CSK: Shaik Rasheed, Ayush Mhatre, Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Dewald Brevis, Shivam Dube, MS Dhoni(WK/ C), Deepak Hooda, Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana
SRH: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen(WK), Aniket Verma, Kamindu Mendis, Pat Cummins (C), Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, Zeeshan Ansari, Mohammed Shami

SRH wins the toss, opts to bowl first.
“We are coming off a couple of losses but its a new venue. We need a couple of partnerships to consolidate after early wickets.,” Pat Cummins says.
“Wanted to bowl first. There was a lot of dew last night during practice. When you’re not playing good cricket, you transfer pressure to the young players. We need to enjoy cricket. It is important to take one game at a time rather than look at six games. 
We have not been sure of the wicket since it was relaid in 2010. The older red soil wicket was good. Brevis for Rachin and Hooda for Vijay Shankar,” says MS Dhoni.
Sam Curran too finds a place in the XI.

IPL 2025 points table: Find the latest updated standings of the Indian Premier League after the Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Rajasthan Royals match on April 24.
For much of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have been in the same boat, caught in a whirlpool of inconsistencies and shortcomings, circling further and further away from a playoff spot most had earmarked for them going into the tournament.
On Friday, the two sides will meet at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium in a game that is realistically the final chance for either team to break free of the choppy waters and make an improbable, late push for a top-four spot.
At the very least, a win would go a long way for CSK and SRH to avoid the ignominy of finishing at the bottom of the standings — a fate yet to befall the former, while having happened just once for the latter.
The wounds are fresher for SRH, which succumbed to its sixth defeat of the season on Wednesday to Mumbai Indians, giving it an unenviable task of regrouping in under 48 hours for the Chennai game.
