The 5th ODI between New Zealand and Srilanka will take place in University Oval, Dunedin and the play will commence at 3 30 hours(IST) on 23rd January,2015.
Overview:-
Both the teams have fought well but it seems that Srilankan's tactics are not working in New Zealand conditions.
Whereas, on the other hand New Zealand in th 4th ODI have proved that their whole team is not dependent on one mad, Brendon Mcculum.
In the Last ODI, New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by 4 wickets, with Brendon Mcculum failing to score, but Injury relieved Kane Williamson to bag a century with Corey Anderson helping him.

Though it will be difficult for New Zealand as their lethal fast bowler Adam Milne and all rounder Grant Elliot will miss the action because of injury.
