ENG vs SL: England-Sri Lanka Third ODI Abandoned Due To Rain

By IANS News July 04, 2021 • 22:19 PM View: 2068

The third and final ODI between England and Sri Lanka was abandoned without a result because of heavy rains on Sunday. Though Sri Lanka were bundled out for a paltry 166 in 41.1 overs, they managed to avoid the embarrassment of a clean sweep as the weather dashed the home team's hopes.

The rain had earlier delayed the toss and then play was suspended towards the end of the Sri Lankan innings. It continued to pour heavily from the innings break onwards and the umpires had no option but to abandon the game with only one innings being completed.
