Australia and South Africa will hope to win the fifth and final game of the five-match One-Day International (ODI) series at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) on Sunday. After a rousing series won 3-1 by the hosts, both teams will hope to end on a high and taste victory before their next series against India and West Indies respectively.
Besides South Africa are unlikely to get another go at a competitive opposition before the World Cup as their next and last assignment is a series against a depleted West Indies at home. So its imperative they approach the last game with seriousness. Australia, on the other hand, can take a vicarious pleasure in toppling India as the number one ranked ODI team in the world should they emerge victorious at the Sydney Cricket Ground where the series concludes.
Teams:
Australia: Aaron Finch, David Warner, Shane Watson, Steven Smith, George Bailey (c), Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Wade (wk), James Faulkner, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc.
South Africa: Quinton de Kock (wk), Hashim Amla (c), Faf du Plessis, Rilee Rossouw, David Miller, Farhan Behardien, Ryan McLaren, Robin Peterson, Wayne Parnell, Morne Morkel, Kyle Abbott.
