GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) Mystery spinner Sunil Narine took a career-best 6-27 as the West Indies bowled out South Africa for 188 in 46.5 overs in the first match of the one-day international cricket tri-series at the National Stadium at Providence on Friday.
Allrounder Carlos Brathwaite chipped in with 2-35 with his medium pace.
Left-hander Rilee Rossouw hit a composed top score of 61 off 83 balls while South Africa captain AB de Villiers (31) and opener Quinton de Kock (30) also contributed.
South Africa, after winning the toss, was given a solid platform by de Kock and Hashim Amla, who made 52 inside the first 10 overs.
But de Kock under-edged a pull at Brathwaite onto his stumps and, at the same score, Narine made his first intervention by claiming Amla lbw for 20.
Rossouw and de Villiers rebuilt carefully in a third-wicket stand of 78 in 20 overs, that included just one boundary.
But the West Indies kept the pressure on when pacer Jerome Taylor made a critical breakthrough by snaring a fantastic return catch to remove de Villiers at 130-3.
Narine returned to claim Rossouw to a fine slip catch from Brathwaite, and South Africa collapsed emphatically to lose its last seven wickets for 28 runs.
Narine was returning to international cricket for the first time since being barred due to an illegal action last November.
