Summary South Africa reached 361-5 in the fifth and final one-day international against the West Indies.
CENTURION (AP) - Hashim Amla and Rilee Rossouw both smashed centuries as South Africa reached 361-5 after the fifth and final one-day international against the West Indies was reduced to 42 overs per side on Wednesday.
Amla hit 133 from 105 balls and Rossouw scored 132 in 98 deliveries as they put on 247 together - a record third-wicket stand for South Africa.
While the pair began in fairly benign fashion, taking South Africa to 154-2 after 28 overs, they cut loose thereafter as they added 152 runs in the next 63 balls.
Andre Russell and Jason Holder took all five wickets to fall but conceded 162 runs in the 17 overs they bowled.
Afternoon rain delayed the start of play by two and a half hours and provided the West Indian seamers with some early movement through the air.
But while Quinton de Kock (4) fell cheaply on his return from injury and Faf du Plessis made just 16, Amla and Rossouw saw off the early threat and then moved through the gears with alarming speed.
Amla went to his half-century in 49 balls and Rossouw needed 60, but the pair went on to hit 14 sixes as the West Indian bowlers had no answer to the assault.
While Rossouw s century was his second in ODIs, Amla became the fastest batsman to reach 19 in the one-day game, bringing it up in his 107th match.
Their third-wicket partnership beat the 238 put on by Amla and AB de Villiers against Pakistan in 2013, and became the second highest of all time - behind the 258 scored by Darren Bravo and Denesh Ramdin for the West Indies against Bangladesh last year.
