West Indies, after a mind-boggling 100-run win over South Africa, will face Australia in the final of the ODI Tri-series in Barbados on Sunday.
Darren Bravo's third hundred and impressive fast bowling from Shannon Gabriel had propelled the West Indies to a 100-run win over South Africa.
Bravo's stroke-filled 102, which earned him the "Man of the Match" award, anchored an impressive recovery from 21 for four to lift the West Indies to 285 all out off 49.5 overs batting first at Kensington Oval on Friday.
Gabriel, in just his second ODI, then tore through the Proteas' vaunted top-order, taking the wickets of Quinton de Kock, Faf du Plessis and captain A.B. de Villiers in the space of four fearsome overs.
With their second win in three matches against the Proteas in the tournament, the hosts set up a title clash with World Cup-holders Australia.
Of concern for the West Indies looking ahead to the final though will be the fitness of Gabriel, who left the field nursing a right leg injury after claiming the impressive figures of three for 17 from five overs of extreme pace.
