Good afternoon! We are finally coming to the last game of the ODI series between Sri Lanka and South Africa. Sri Lanka, having lost the first three games of the series, went to contest the last two as dead rubbers. Nonetheless, for the massive disappointment that Sri Lanka have been in the 50-over game, a victory – eventhough inconsequential – would mean a lot, especially for their depleted morale.

We will be bringing you the live updates of the fifth ODI. However, the cricket is predicted to be marred by thunderstorms. Let’s hope the predictions don’t come true.
