Nagpur: Chris Gayle is set to return to the top of the batting order as the West Indies seek to clinch a World Twenty20 semi-finals spot on Friday against a South African side who can ill afford to lose.
The Windies big-hitting opener tweaked a hamstring while fielding against Sri Lanka on Sunday night and was dropped down to number six, much to the disappointment of the Bangalore crowd.
Gayle's services weren't required as replacement opener Andre Fletcher hit 84 not out to power the Windies to a seven-wicket victory.
It was the West Indies' second win of the tournament after a Gayle century, which included 11 sixes, inspired them to a six-wicket triumph over England in their opening match.
They sit top of Group One on four points and a defeat of South Africa in Nagpur would see them become the second team to qualify for the last four, after New Zealand.
Gayle and Fletcher are expected to open the Windies' with Johnson Charles moving down.
South Africa desperately need a victory after picking up one win from two games as they bid to show the world that they have what it takes to clinch a first international trophy.
They are yet to get up to full-steam after a stunning opening defeat to a record 230-run chase by England was followed by a win over minnows Afghanistan, leaving them precariously placed in third spot, two points behind England.
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.
