After a 3 runs thrilling victory in the fourth ODI Sri Lanka will look to finish the series on a winning note when they take on South Africa in the fifth and last ODI match at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo.

Sri Lanka's top order batsmen Upul Tharanga and Kusal Mendis have had a disappointing series and have one more chance to come back in form. On the other hand, South Africa might rest a few key players as they have already won the series and are looking to build the team for the World Cup 2019.
