    What's the story

    South Africa and Australia will battle it out in the fifth and deciding ODI of the series.

    While the Aussies claimed victories in the first two games, the hosts made a stunning comeback with victories in the next two matches.

    Moreover, they are coming off a mammoth 164-run triumph in the fourth encounter.

    Here we look at the preview.

    Details 

    Pitch report, timing, and broadcast details

    The Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg will host the series finale on September (September 17).

    The track here has been fruitful for batting in recent years. Meanwhile, chasing teams have won 28 of the 50 ODIs at this venue, losing 20.

    The duel will be telecast live on Star Sports Network (1:30pm IST) and live-streamed on Disney+ Hotstar and Fancode (paid subscription).

    A look at the head-to-head record

    South Africa are just ahead of Australia in terms of head-to-head record in ODIs, having clinched 53 of the 107 ODIs against them.

    While Australia emerged winners 50 times, the two sides have played out three tied matches (NR: 1).

    At home, SA have 27 wins and 22 defeats against the Aussie side (Tie: 1).

    Travis Head blow for Australia

    Australian opener Travis Head sustained a fracture in his left hand during the fourth ODI.

    He is unlikely to play the final match.

    Josh Inglis is likely to replace him in the XI. Skipper Mitchell Marsh is expected to open alongside David Warner.

    For SA, skipper Temba Bavuma might return to the XI with Reeza Hendricks making way for him.
