West Indies opener Shai Hope blasted an unbeaten 42 off 24 balls while Nicholas Pooran clubbed 35 off just 13 deliveries to lay the foundation for the hosts' victory at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba.
Romario Shepherd took 3-15 from his four overs, claiming the key wickets of Hendricks and skipper Aiden Markram (19).
"Andre Russell requested a period of rest and recovery as well as Jason Holder who played five back-to-back tests against England and South Africa," CWI's director of cricket Miles Bascombe said in a statement.
West Indies, who are co-hosts of the T20 World Cup which gets under way on June 1 in the United States, will face South Africa again on Sunday to conclude the series.
The three-game series will give much of their squad for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup some last-minute preparations for next month's tournament, with a host of their stars to feature against the Proteas.
