Windies will be bolstered by the return of the big-hitting left-handed opener Chris Gayle, who was dropped down the order to number six in their previous match against Sri Lanka, after he pulled a hamstring while fielding.


If South Africa fail to beat the Windies then England would be in pole position to qualify from the group going into the last round-robin game.


The Proteas' preparations were dealt a blow after all-rounder JP Duminy was ruled out of the match with a hamstring injury he picked up in the 37-run win over Afghanistan on Sunday.
