Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) edged out Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by five wickets in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Friday, keeping their slim playoff hopes alive. Harshal Patel bagged a four-fer as SRH bowled CSK out for 154, before Ishan Kishan, Kamindu Mendis and Nitish Kumar Reddy played handy cameos to see their side through with eight balls to spare. With his defeat, CSK almost bowed out of the play-offs race even as SRH stayed alive theoretically. CSK remained bottom of the points table while SRH jumped a place to rise to the eighth spot. This was SRH’s first win at the Chepauk against CSK.
Here’s how the IPL 2025 points table looks like after CSK vs SRH:
Sent into bat, Chennai Super Kings were bowled out for 154. In reply, SRH completed the task in 18.4 overs with Ishan Kishan (44), Kamindu Mendis (32 not out) and Nitish Reddy (19 not out) making valuable contributions with the bat.
Earlier, with the exception of Dewald Brevis, who top-scored for CSK with a 25-ball 42, and Ayush Mhatre, who made 30 in 19 deliveries, the CSK batters struggled to get going in the must-win game.
Harshal was SRH’s wrecker-in-chief with the ball, returning excellent figures of 4/28 in four overs while skipper Pat Cummins too bowled very well to pick 2/21.
