Deccan Chargers can topple CSK if they combine their batting and bowling units effectively,says White.

Although defending champions Chennai Super Kings are a formidable force at home,Deccan Chargers can topple them if they combine their batting and bowling units effectively,feels the Chargers vice-captain Cameron White.

White said he was positive that Deccan Chargers can pull off an upset win against the men in yellow when they face them in a crucial tie here at M A Chidambaram stadium on Sunday.

“We haven’t won two games in a row but tomorrow is a good opportunity to do that. We lost to Kochi the other day and hopefully,we can start to go on a bit of a run,” said the Aussie all-rounder.

“Our captain (Kumar Sangakkara) is playing beautifully at the moment,Sunny Sohal has done well,(Bharat) Chipli has also done quite well. I think our bowling unit has been generally very good and if we combine our batting and bowling we’re a pretty good side and a tough team to beat,” he added.

White also said that Chargers are a good bowling unit and they can pose a tough threat to Chennai.

“We have a good attack of pace and spin. We have Indian bowlers who know the conditions and of course Dale Steyn,one of the best fast bowlers in the world. Amit Mishra and Pragyan Ojha will provide variety.”

A victory over M S Dhoni’s men,who are unbeaten at home,will put Deccan outfit on same points with the defending champions and the Australian said it will be important to win on Sunday.

“Obviously,every game is very important now. Everyone’s beating everyone out there. No one’s really slipping away at the top of the table. If we win tomorrow it will be our fourth win and we’ll be pretty close to those top four positions.

“But Chennai are a very good side and this is their home ground. We should put things in place so that we can get the right result.”
