India and Australia are all set to have a crack at each other in the 4th T20I of the five-match series at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Friday. After the first three T20Is of the series, the hosts hold a 2-1 advantage and are gunning to clinch the series without heading into the must-win territory.
