South Africa Team News & Playing 11
SA Team News
South Africa have played brilliant cricket in the last two games and the team will be keen to step on the park with a settled unit. Temba Bavuma did not play the fourth ODI due to a side strain and he should be back in the team for the series decider. Anrich Nortje has been ruled out of the series due to injury.
SA Key Players
- Quinton De Kock – QDK has shown good form in the ODI series. While he has not played a really big knock so far, he looks set to play one in the final. A good game for De Kock will increase South Africa’s chances.
- Aiden Markram- Markram scored a century in the third ODI and will be keen to end the series on a high. He is one of the most important batters for South Africa and the team will need him to be at his best ahead of the World Cup.
- Heinrich Klaassen – Klaassen has been one South Africa batter who has been in tremendous form in recent times. Klaassen blasted 174 in 83 balls in the fourth ODI.
SA Team Form
South Africa have bounced back well in the ODI series. The good news is that all their senior batters have scored runs in both the previous games.

Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
Australia have been on the testing mode in the series. In the final, they will be keen to play the best combination. Sean Abbott should return in place of Michael Neser. Also, Travis Head injured himself in the third ODI so he is all set to sit out, with Josh Inglis or Cameron Green replacing him.
AUS Key Players
- David Warner – Warner missed out in the fourth ODI. He did not get much time to set as Australia had to chase a huge score. However, the southpaw has been in good form in the series and has a century and a fifty to his name.
- Marnus Labuschagne – Labuschagne has also played well in the series, scoring a century and a fifty. Labuschagne will be keen to make an impact in the series decider as it will increase his chances of a World Cup selection.
- Mitchell Marsh – Mitchell Marsh has had a quiet ODI series so far but the captain might have saved his best performance for the final.
AUS Team Form
Australia have lost the previous two ODIs. In both games, the bowlers have conceded far too many runs. A better outing for the bowlers is needed for Australia in the final.
Australia Predicted Playing 11
David Warner, Josh Inglis/Cameron Green, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitch Marsh (c), Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Alex Carey (wk), Sean Abbott, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

Who will win South Africa vs Australia 5th ODI Match?
We suggest backing Australia to win. Australia have lost the last two games but they have experimented with their bowling unit, however, in the final, they are likely to play the best combination.
🏆 South Africa vs Australia Prediction
Australia will start as favourites despite losing the last two games. The team has plenty of firepower in the batting department and can hunt down any total set for a win. The bowling has been ordinary in the last two games but the likes of Hazlewood and Zampa are very experienced and are expected to bounce back in the final. Also, most of South Africa's batters have got runs in the last two games but their consistency is still in question. For us, Australia are favourites.
