SHARJAH, United Arab Emirates (AP) South Africa captain AB de Villiers won his fourth toss of the series and elected to bat against Pakistan in the fifth and final one-day international on Monday.
The Proteas have already wrapped up the series with a 3-1 lead after defeating Pakistan by 28 runs at Abu Dhabi last Friday.
South Africa made three changes in its bowling lineup, resting frontline fast bowlers Dale Steyn and Morne Morkel along with the leading wicket-taker of the series Imran Tahir (9 wickets).
Vernon Philander and leftarm spinner Robin Peterson get their first match of the series, while Wayne Parnell also comes in the side after a break of two matches.
Pakistan made only one change, bringing in middle-order batsman Umar Amin in place of Asad Shafiq.
