Summary Faf du Plessis was the only batsman to fall on the day.
CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) - Dean Elgar s unbeaten half-century quashed any potential last-day intrigue as South Africa completed an eight-wicket victory over the West Indies in the third test at Newlands on Tuesday.
The host went into the final day on 9-1, needing a further 115 runs for victory, and achieved its target in an extended morning session as Elgar scored 60 not out.
Faf du Plessis was the only batsman to fall on the day as he was caught for 14 off the bowling of Sulieman Benn, before captain Hashim Amla scored 38 not out to accompany Elgar to the end.
The result took South Africa to a 2-0 series win, and ensured it will retain its No. 1 ranking in test cricket.
