Who won yesterday's IPL matches - GT vs CSK, SRH vs KKR: Yesterday IPL match report

Sunrisers Hyderabad began IPL 2025 with a record-breaking bang, posting the second-highest total in tournament history. But what followed was a dramatic slump that saw their playoff hopes fade. In their final match of the season, however, SRH returned to their explosive best. At the Arun Jaitley Stadium, they piled up a colossal 278/3 on a batting-friendly surface and crushed Kolkata Knight Riders by 110 runs in a dominant farewell performance.


Elsewhere, Chennai Super Kings ended their campaign on a high as well, registering a massive 83-run win over Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad and India’s Anshul Khamboj picked up three wickets apiece, while Ravindra Jadeja chipped in with two to trigger a collapse and bowl GT out for 147 in 18.3 overs.

Back in Delhi, it was Heinrich Klaasen who stole the limelight. The South African blazed his way to an unbeaten 105 off just 39 balls, reaching his second IPL hundred in just 37 deliveries—tied for the third-fastest century in IPL history. His knock, laced with 7 fours and 9 sixes at a staggering strike rate of 269.23, helped SRH post the third-highest total ever in the league.

Ice in his veins, fire in his bat 🔥

Promoted to No. 3, Klaasen capitalized in style, punishing the KKR bowlers with powerful drives down the ground and dominant pull shots off anything short. He found a reliable partner in Travis Head, who smashed a 40-ball 76—his third fifty of the season—with six fours and six sixes. Cameos from Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, and Aniket Verma added to the late flourish, as SRH hammered 74 runs in the final five overs.


Chasing 279, KKR needed a miracle, but their top order crumbled. Jaydev Unadkat struck early, while Ehsan Malinga (3/31) and Harsh Dubey (3/34) cleaned up the middle and lower order. KKR were bowled out for 168 in 18.4 overs—ending their campaign with their heaviest defeat in IPL history. SRH, with the thumping win, moved up to sixth in the standings.

In Ahmedabad, CSK’s bowlers delivered a clinical performance to hand Gujarat Titans a potentially costly defeat. After setting a challenging target, Chennai’s spin and pace combo dismantled GT’s batting unit. With this result, GT’s chances of finishing in the top two now hang in the balance.


The playoff equation has now become intense. The winner of Monday’s clash between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings will leapfrog Gujarat on the table, while Royal Challengers Bengaluru could push them further down to the Eliminator spot if they beat Lucknow Super Giants in the final league fixture.

CSK, meanwhile, will be relieved to end their season on a high, though they couldn’t boost their net run-rate enough to climb above Rajasthan Royals. The five-time champions finish at the bottom of the points table for the first time in their storied history.
