One of the best series happening in cricket continues today. The fifth ODI match is set to take place between Australia and South Africa, two of the three highest ranked nations in the world for the sport.
So far, host-nation Australia has dominated this series 3-1, and finishing with a 4-1 record would allow the Baggy Greens to rise to the no. 1 ranking in the world.
Australian player Steve Smith spoke for all his teammates about what the respective ranking would mean to them: "It adds a lot. We pride ourselves on that. We try to get to No.1 in every form of the game. To win in Sydney would be great and to take that No.1 mantle back would be outstanding."
