Toss Prediction
Six of the last eight one-day internationals at the Sabina Park have been won by the side batting second. So there is a toss bias here and the team that wins the toss on Thursday is more likely to bowl first. Since West Indies have won their previous seven ODIs at this ground in which they have chased, the scales should tip in their favor if they happen to bat second in this game.

West Indies Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The West Indian camp seems to be free from all injury concerns at the moment and the selectors are unlikely to disturb the winning combination for the series decider.
Key Players
Wicketkeeper-batsman Shai Hope has been the most impressive of all the batsman. He has scored the most runs for the West Indies in this series so far and the team will want him to carry on with his good form. With the ball, it is skipper Jason Holder who will be expected to deliver the goods for the Windies. The fast bowler claimed a five-fer to guide his team to victory in the last match and he is now the joint-leading wicket-taker in the series with eight wickets.
Recent Form
West Indies have so far played 11 completed one-day internationals this year of which they have been able to win just 3 while facing defeats in the rest. Apart from their unexpected win over India the other day, their other two triumphs at home came against Afghanistan and Pakistan.

India Team News & Playing 11
Team News
There are no injuries reported in the Indian team and despite their defeat in the last game, the selectors are likely to show faith in the current lineup. So expect the visitors to go unchanged.
Key Players
Ajinkya Rahane is showing excellent form after being sidelined in the Champions Trophy and he will be the key figure in this Indian batting lineup. The opener is leading the runs charts with one hundred and three fifties from four games in the series. The Windies have found it difficult to read Kuldeep Yadav. The left-arm chinaman currently has the best bowling figures in the series with eight wickets and he is likely to cause a few problems for the hosts once again.
Recent Form
India have been quite impressive in the 50-overs format this year having won 7 out of the 11 completed matches. However, the team will be a little concerned regarding their batting as they have now suffered two collapses in their last four ODIs – once against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy final and the other against the West Indies in the last match.
India Predicted Playing 11

V Kohli (c), AM Rahane, S Dhawan, KD Karthik, MS Dhoni (wk), KM Jadhav, HH Pandya, RA Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, UT Yadav, Mohammed Shami

West Indies vs India Head to Head
West Indies and India have played 116 one-day internationals against each other in the past, of which 61 have been won by the former and 55 by the latter with the remaining one match having resulted in a tie. Out of the six ODIs between these two sides at the Sabina Park, four have been won by the hosts and two by the visitors.
West Indies vs India 5th ODI Betting Odds
West Indies put in a great bowling effort to stun India in the fourth ODI. With just 189 to defend, Holder and Co. did not allow the Indians to dominate and eventually bundled them out for 178. But despite the result of the last game, the hosts still find themselves outsiders for the final ODI being as high as 4 with Bet365 and 3.9 with Betfair. India will feel they had a rough day at Antigua and will look to come better prepared for the decisive encounter. The tourists start as favorites to win again at 1.23 with betfair and 1.25 with bet365.
West Indies vs India 5th ODI Prediction
West Indies needed a win to lift their spirits and they did just that in the last game. Their skipper Jason Holder led from the front and this win will now instil more self-belief into the team heading into the series finale. Another fact that will make the Windies more optimistic is that India don't have a good ODI record at this ground, losing five out of seven matches. However, the hosts have not been able to perform well consistently in the absence of their star players. The visitors have taken a setback and they are expected to come out with all guns blazing next time. We therefore predict India to win this match and hence the series.
Final Verdict: Back India to beat West Indies in the fifth ODI at 1.23 with betfair and 1.25 with bet365.
