Find out the match facts for the CSK vs SRH, IPL 2026 fixture
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will continue their fight for an IPL 2026 playoff spot when they host Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 63 of this season’s Indian Premier League at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Monday.
After losing their first three games, CSK have turned their campaign around despite being stifled by injuries. Although a surprising seven-wicket loss to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) ended their three-match winning streak, the Super Kings remain in sixth place with 12 points. Two wins in their last two matches will take them to 16 points, enough for a shot at reaching the knockouts.
For SRH, the story is somewhat similar. They are in third place, but only two points above CSK. Pat Cummins’ side suffered a humiliating 82-run defeat against Gujarat Titans (GT) in their last outing, being dismissed for just 86. With two games left to play, the Sunrisers cannot afford any slip-ups if they want to secure their place in the top four.
