Confident of equalling series Wednesday: Raina

Ranchi, Oct 22 (IANS) India batsman Suresh Raina Tuesday said that the team will try to level the seven-match series against Australia in the fourth game here Wednesday.

“We are focused on the match. Every day is a new day in cricket. The bowlers have worked hard during the practice match,” said Raina at a press conference at Jharkhand State Cricket Association (JSCA) stadium here.
