Do or die match for Chennai and Hyderabad
Let us tell you that both Chennai and Hyderabad have started the IPL 2025 campaign very badly. They have won only two out of eight games so far and are at the bottom of the points table. Chennai is in 10th place with a weak net run rate. Both these teams now need to win their remaining six matches to remain in the playoff qualification.
Hyderabad will try to regain their form
Hyderabad performed brilliantly in IPL 2024 and due to this they were able to qualify for the final, but the Pat Cummins-led side failed to maintain the momentum this time. Their batting unit did not live up to expectations and it troubled the team throughout the season. Nevertheless, head coach Daniel Vettori is hopeful that the team will soon get back to winning ways.
