Weather: According to AccuWeather.com, the weather will be all clear. There has been a lot of rain about in Port Elizabeth over the last few days, but Sunday's forecast looks good for the time being.

Overview

With South Africa claiming an unassailable 3-0 lead over the West Indies in their last outing, the hosts will be using the next two games to give some of their key men a breather. AB de Villiers, Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn are all likely to be rested for the match in Port Elizabeth.

Coach Russell Domingo revealed earlier his week that Morne van Wyk will take over the gloves and South Africa are hopeful that injured Quinton de Kock will recover in time for the fifth and final match.

For South Africa, this is an opportunity to give some of their other batsmen some game time. JP Duminy, who has batted just once in the three matches, will be given a run higher up the order, while David Miller could also play a more significant role with the bat.

From a bowling perspective, Kyle Abbott, Wayne Parnell and Aaron Phangiso are likely to be trialled while the front-line bowlers take a break.

The West Indies are unlikely to afford their players such luxuries. While they were superb in the Twenty20 series, their one-day efforts have been found lacking. With the World Cup edging closer, it’s crucial for them to find some form. Port Elizabeth’s reputation of being low and slow is unlikely to help the teams prepare for conditions they are likely to encounter at the World Cup, but a confidence boost wouldn’t go amiss.

Key players

South Africa

With Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers likely to miss out, JP Duminy will be an important part of the batting lineup. He has shown that he is adaptable and will most likely have to play a solid anchoring role higher up the order for this match.

West Indies

Dwayne Smith has been one of the West Indies' better batsmen during the course of the series. He's scored just one half century, but his importance at the top of the order cannot be underestimated.
