Mahesh, you provided your coordinates in your profile, and I will assume you actually meant the “.” to be a decimal point rather than a sexagesimal mark “:” (I realize the practice is different in some countries). At W 0.05°, N 51.50° on May 5th the Sun will set at 19:31 UT at azimuth 298.5°, and the Moon will set at 20:16 UT at azimuth 308.1°. For your location at 20:00 UT, when the Moon will be aged 7.7 hrs, the separation between the centers of the Sun and Moon will be 5.8° with 0.3% of the lunar disk illuminated.
The current world record for spotting the Moon by naked eye is 11:40 hrs with the previous record at 14:45 hrs. It would be miraculous if you sight the Moon on the 5th.
