Parnell, 19, took wickets at both ends of West Indies' chase at the Oval to finish with figures of 4-0-13-4.

It meant South Africa have one foot in the final four after two wins from two in Group E of the Super Eights stage.

Set a challenging 184-run target, the West Indians were set back by the loss of openers Chris Gayle and Andre Fletcher, the slayers of Australia on the same ground, in the opening four overs.

His incisive, initial two-over burst of two for three was followed by the removal of Kieron Pollard and Jerome Taylor at the death.

By that time the result was not in question, only the margin of victory for tournament favourites South Africa.

Lendl Simmons appeared intent on winning the contest on his own after West Indies slumped to 13 for two, his audacious range of strokes conning the packed house that another shock was on the cards.

His six over extra-cover off spinner Roelof van der Merwe was reminiscent of the trademark stroke of Dwayne Bravo, his partner in a 57-run stand for the third wicket.

Bravo's brilliance on Friday sent the West Indians into this contest in good humour but his departure for 19, held in the deep off the chunky Van der Merwe, represented the last support for Simmons.

Any chance of West Indies' victory then disappeared when, from the final ball of the 16th over with 12-an-over required, Simmons succumbed to the same dismissal for an elegant 77.
