New Delhi: South Africa crushed hosts West Indies by 139 runs in the 6th match of the Tri-series at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts on Wednesday.

In their huge victory, opener Hashim Amla and leg-spinner Imran Tahir emerged as the heroes for Proteas.

Amla' 110 helped South Africa to a mammoth total of 343.

It's his 23rd ODI ton, which helped him leave India's Virat Kohli behind to become world's fastest batsman to score 23 hundreds.

Kohli took 157 innings to score his 23rd ODI ton. Amla achieved the feat in mere 132 innings.

If Amla slammed a ton (110) in the match, then Tahir too came out with his career best ODI figures of 7/45.
