CAPE TOWN: South Africa won the toss and opted to field first in the final ODI of five-match series against Pakistan at Cape Town on Wednesday .

Shoaib Malik said Pakistan have made no changes for today's match, expressing the hope that his side would be able to put the hosts under pressure by scoring a big total.

The crucial series is being considered as a confidence booster for both the teams ahead of the ICC World Cup 2019. Both teams have their issues to iron out, chiefly with the batting. They’ve been good in patches, but consistency has eluded them.

Pakistan were good with the bat in the last game, but there remains room for improvement in overall consistency. Their batsmen have looked more solid on the whole. Imam-ul-Haq, in particular, has scored a lot of runs and led his side’s chase in the previous game with a solid 71. In all, he has scored 263 runs for the series at 65.75.

Fortunately for South Africa, the two seniors in Hashim Amla and Faf du Plessis showed some form in the previous game making fifties. They will want to inspire the others to follow in their footsteps.

Other established players like Quinton de Kock, who was out for a duck in the fourth game, will want to step up in the deciding match too.
