Game 5 comes from Jaipur from 9am. It's live on Sky again.

10pts Pakistan to win 5th ODI Evs VC

India wrapped up the series with their win in Gwalior on Thursday and they are to take this opportunity to rest a few of their players in this dead rubber ahead of the upcoming test series. Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, Harbhajan and either Ganguly or Tendulkar will be rested for the fringe players like Sreesanth, Sharma and Kartik to get a game.

Pakistan have a different agenda though. They want to win this match to go into the test series on the back of a win. Therefore they are set to field the same side which lost the last match. They will need to ensure that they score more runs though as that was the main reason why they lost in Gwalior. Also Shoaib Malik, if he wins the toss again will hopefully realise you can't battle the dew and will bowl 1st.

The pitch is meant to be a good one and Pakistan have the motivation for this match. If their batsman all come to the party I think they'll net themselves a consolation.

10pts Pakistan Highest 1st 15 Overs 11/10 Sportingbet

Pakistan have the option of shoving Shahid Afridi up the order and let him loose in what is a dead rubber but even if they don't do that, against India's reserve opening partnership, Salman Butt and Shoaib Malik should score quickly enough early doors. India are likely to change their opening batting partnership which could cause a couple of problems and could allow the Pakistani bowlers to get on top early doors. Shoaib Akhtar and Umar Gul have had good series and they can ensure Pakistan lead after 15 overs here.

5pts ew Y.Khan Top Pakistan Batsman 4/1 Boylesports (1/4 1,2,3)

Younis Khan has shown in this series that he's a class act and I see no reason why with his confidence high, that he can't top score again. He currently has the most runs by a Pakistan batsman in this series which goes to show how well he's playing and he looks to be an each way steal. Given that we get our cash back if he comes 2nd or 3rd then Younis has to be the each way call in this Pakistan batting lineup.
