The match was scheduled to start at 11.00am local time but the proceedings couldn’t get going due to the wet outfield caused by a morning shower. In the afternoon, the skies opened up again, not allowing for even the toss to take place.
This means newly crowned Sri Lanka Captain Dimuth Karunaratne will have to wait a few more days to lead his troops for the first time in an ODI.
