South Africa Team Preview
The South Africa team has been dominating throughout the whole series, and the result is they are leading the series by 4-0. The Proteas has made a history as they became the first team to thrash Australia by 4-0 in the five-match bilateral series.
The credit must be given to the captain Faf Du Plessis who lead the team brilliantly, even with the runs under his name. The likes of Quinton de Kock, Rilee Rossouw, JP Duminy and David Miller has scripted the victory for the South Arica in all four matches.
The bowling unit will be led by the duo of Kagiso Rabada and Andile Phehlukwayo as both have complimented each other brilliantly in all the four games. Kyle Abbot was the new asset for the Proteas in the last ODI as he claimed the four wickets.
The spin twin of Aaron Phangiso and Tabraiz Shamsi are expected to spin the red cherry for the South Africa. The team is in great touch, and now, they will look to become the first team to whitewash the world champions Australian in 5 matches bilateral series.

Australia Team Preview
Steven Smith led side has lost the series and now, they are on the verge of getting humiliation if they failed to win the final ODI. Steven Smithy became the first Australia captain to be 4-0 in a five-match bilateral series against any opposition.
Australia’s primary concern has been their poor and inexperienced bowling unit, and they are surely missing Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazelwood. Although in the last match their batters were scrambled on the score of 171, the major concern has been their bowling unit.
The world champion needs to show some serious fight in the final ODI to manage to win the match for their pride only. The likes of David Warner, Finch, and Smith, needs to do something special along with John Hasting and Adam Zampa.
Australia Squad
Aaron Finch, David Warner, Steven Smith(c), George Bailey, Mitchell Marsh, Travis Head, Matthew Wade(w), John Hastings, Adam Zampa, Chris Tremain, Scott Boland, Joe Mennie, Daniel Worrall
