Sunil Narine and Kieron Pollard played starring roles as West Indies beat South Africa by four wickets in the opening match of the Tri-series in Guyana. Jimmy Garoppolo Patriots Jersey . The duo were returning to international cricket after missing the victorious World Twenty20 campaign and Narine took a career-best 6-27 as South Africa were bowled out for 188 off 46.5 overs on a slow pitch.West Indies were 76-4 in replay but Pollard then hit 67 not out off 67 balls to get the hosts home with 11 balls to spare.Pollard smashed six sixes in his match-winning knock, becoming just the fourth West Indies player to hit 100 maximums in one-day internationals.South Africa chose to bat first and openers Quinton de Kock (30) and Hashim Amla (20) put on 52 before a 78-run third wicket stand between Rilee Rossouw (who top scored with 61) and captain AB de Villiers (31). Sunil Narine enjoyed a sensational return to international cricket But De Villiers fell to a good return catch by Jerome Taylor and South Africa subsequently collapsed from 160-3, their last seven wickets falling for just 28 runs as Narine proved too good for the middle and lower order.Forced to remodel his action after it was deemed illegal during the Caribbean sides last ODI campaign in Sri Lanka last November, the 28-year-old mystery spinner had Rossouw caught at first slip and then snared a trio of lbw dismissals, including last man Imran Tahir (0). Set a relatively modest target, the West Indies opening pair of Johnson Charles (31) and Andre Fletcher (11) rode their luck in a 37-run stand before the introduction of the spinners led to a collapse.Imran Tahir (2-41) bowled the openers with googlies while Aaron Phangiso (3-40) and J.P. Duminy removed Marlon Samuels (1) and Denesh Ramdin (10) respectively, to have the hosts wobbling at 76-4.But Pollard, whose first three scoring shots were huge sixes, salvaged the situation alongside Darren Bravo (30), who helped to add 74 runs for the fourth wicket.Bravo then fell to Phangiso for 30 and World Twenty20 final hero Carlos Brathwaite (8) was dismissed by the same bowler.But captain Jason Holder (10 not out) joined Pollard to ensure there were no more alarms, as West Indies secured a morale-boosting win ahead of Sundays meeting with World Cup holders Australia.The Tri-series continues with West Indies v Australia live on Sky Sports 3 HD from 5.55pm on Sunday.
