Batting wizard Brian Lara scored his second successive one-day century as West Indies defeated South Africa by nine wickets to go into Saturday's final against Pakistan.
The left-hander from Trinidad and Tobago hit an undefeated 111 to follow his 128 against Pakistan at Durban last Friday. The knock came in 140 deliveries with 12 fours and a six.
Lara and Desmond Haynes, whose 57 was his 50th half-century in one-day international cricket, shared an opening stand of 152 runs from 216 balls.
In reply to South Africa's 6-185, the West Indies cruised to 1-188 with 5.3 overs to spare.
With South Africa now eliminated from the 10-match triangular tournament after losing four of its six matches, the result of the final round-robin match between West Indies and Pakistan in Cape Town on Thursday is of academic interest.
Lara, who has signed to play. for Northern Transvaal for a brief spell after the completion of this three-nation tournament, took his second successive man-of-the-match award for an innings that was not without blemish.
He was dropped on 13 by Jonty Rhodes and on 83 by skipper Kepler Wessels.
Haynes, who was caught behind to a late away-swinger from Richard' Snell in the 36th over, played a valuable back-up role.
Whereas Lara's 50 came in 59 balls, Haynes's took 95 deliveries.
South Africa's total was the highest against the West Indies so far in the series but was never going to be enough on an easy-paced wicket.
After winning the toss, Wessels elected to bat.
He scored 49 from 90 deliveries, sharing an opening stand of 52 in 17, overs with Andrew Hudson (17).
But the quick dismissals of Hansię Cronje for five, Wessels and then Peter Kirsten for 10 put South Africa on to the back foot before Daryll Cullinan steadied the innings with a' knock of 45.
