South Africa Team News & Playing 11
AB de Villiers, David Miller and newcomer Heinrich Klaasen batted well in the last game to take their team over the line. de Villiers looked set from ball one and didn't have much trouble picking up the wrist-spinners which makes him the key man for South Africa for the next game. Morne Morkel and Kagiso Rabada will be the main threats with the ball. The Indian batsmen have been troubled by Rabada the most and the fast bowler will once again look to strike early.

India Team News & Playing 11
Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan are going great guns for India. They were involved in a 158-run partnership at Johannesburg which propelled the team to a challenging score of 289. Once again, it will be up to these two to rack up the big runs. The spin twins Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal were taken apart for the first time in the series but they are expected to bounce back with a strong performance at Port Elizabeth. Jasprit Bumrah has been impressive with the new ball and the visitors will back him to get the early breakthroughs.

South Africa vs India 5th ODI Prediction
South Africa will take plenty of confidence from their emphatic win at Johannesburg. They also have a pretty good record at the St George's Park with 20 wins out of 31 ODIs. India on the other hand have never won a 50-overs game at this venue - they have played four matches here in the past and have lost all four of those. However, the visitors have overall been the better side so far in this series. Their bowling was affected last time as their bowlers, especially the spinners, were finding it difficult to grip the wet ball. But we expect the spinners to be a lot more effective on Tuesday and therefore predict India to seal the series.
Final Verdict: Back India to beat South Africa in the fifth ODI at 1.92 on 1xbet, 1.82 on Unibet, 1.73 on Ladbrokes and 1.80 each on Bet365 and Betway.
