Former Team India cricketer Sanjay Bangar feels the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will come victorious in the IPL 2025 match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH).
"I believe CSK will win against SRH. CSK's spin strength, backed by MSD, will be key, and they'll ensure there's assistance for the spinners. The team is evolving, moving away from its earlier pattern with more focus on youngsters. SRH, on the other hand, has been inconsistent," Sanjay Bangar said on JioHotstar's 'Match Centre Live'.
The MA Chidambaram Stadium will host the IPL 2025 bottom-of-the-table clash between CSK and SRH. Both teams are facing a similar scenario with two victories and six defeats out of the eight matches.

In the rivalry between these teams, CSK is enjoying the lead with 15 wins out of 21 games. On the other hand, out of six wins, Hyderabad has won five of their games at Chepauk.
Ahead of the match, Chennai will expect youngsters Ayush Mhatre and Shaik Rasheed to deliver performances. From SRH's perspective, the side might look to promote their premier batsman Heinrich Klaasen up the order.
CSK and SRH have suffered their previous defeats against the same team, the Mumbai Indians (MI).
