Chepauk has been CSK’s fortress all season. The $2.15 on the home side with a playoff place on the line is worth taking.

CSK lead the all-time series 16-7 and have won five of six at this ground. SRH’s only win at Chepauk came in 2025 and it was a genuine upset.

This season CSK have been excellent at home, their spinners led by Hosein and Noor Ahmad have an economy rate of 8.5, the second best in the competition. SRH are coming off an 86 all out against GT, their lowest total of the season, on a week-long break.

The caveat is SRH’s top order. Abhishek Sharma, Head and Klaasen are all capable of dismantling an attack in a single powerplay and the Chepauk surface has been playing as a genuine batting track this season.

Noor Ahmad has an excellent record against the SRH middle order but Klaasen strikes at 219 against him. CSK need Samson to bat deep and their bowling to hold firm in the death.

Take the outsider here.

Anshul Kamboj

2+ Wickets

$2.50

Kamboj leads the Purple Cap race with the second-best bowling average in the competition. He has taken two or more wickets in two of his last five games but his overall season record and Chepauk’s tendency to aid seam movement in the middle overs make the price worth taking.

Value Bet

Sanju Samson

Top CSK Run Scorer

$3.50

Samson has three scores above 80 in his last nine innings but has been inconsistent outside those. This is a must-win game at his home ground and the Chepauk surface has been batting-friendly all season. Back him to stand up in such a critical match for his side.
