CSK 149-6 (16 Ovs) vs SRH 194-9 | SCORECARD

Sakib Hussain returns after the timeout and keeps things tight as Shivam Dube and Matthew Short rotate strike with singles. A controlled over brings 6 runs. After 15 overs, Chennai Super Kings are 141 for 5.

Maling continues and starts under pressure as Dube greets him with a boundary. Dube then picks up a couple through deep midwicket and adds a single to keep the scoreboard moving.

But the breakthrough comes soon after -- Short goes for a shot but doesn't get enough on it. He is taken by Aniket Verma in the deep.

Matthew Short departs for 34 off 30 balls.

Overton is the new batter, he is off the mark with a single.
