Match scorecard

Morkel (second left) claimed career-best figures of 4-21

South Africa secured a 67-run win over the West Indies in the third one-day international to take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five game series.

South Africa set a modest 224 all out at Windsor Park with AB de Villiers' 70 the pick of the scores.

Morne Morkel's career best 4-21, ably supported by Charl Langeveldt (3-30) helped the visitors dismiss the home side for just 157 in 38 overs.

The win is the Proteas' ninth straight one-day victory over the West Indies.

The Caribbean team gave themselves every chance of breaking the run with a disciplined bowling and fielding effort in which only De Villiers passed 50.

All-rounder Kieron Pollard enjoyed the best figures of 3-27 with Dwayne Bravo and Sulieman Benn taking two wickets each.

However, in response to South Africa's score they lost captain Chris Gayle (16) early on and despite initial resistance from Dale Richards (28) and Shivnarine Chanderpaul (24), they were unable to keep the visitors - and Morkel in particular - at bay.

Morkel finished off the contest with the wickets of left-handers Sulieman Benn and Ravi Rampaul.
