What we can expect from the 5th ODI?

#1 What we can expect from South Africa

The hosts would have gained a bit of confidence after the last game, and their self-belief must be back. The conditions are not going to be the same this time around for sure, and with the ball expected to turn, they'll have their work cut-out.

They should win the toss and bat first, they'll be better off facing the early swing than the turn towards the later part of the innings. With rain expected before the game, the track should have a bit of moisture as it'll be under covers since morning. The experience of Amla will come in handy to negotiate the new ball.

As the track is expected to turn, it's unlikely that they'll go in with five pace bowlers, and they should consider the selection of Imran Tahir ahead of Lungisani Ngidi. AB de Villiers in the middle overs will be the key for the hosts, as he can get the spinners off line in a turning track and put pressure on the opponent.
