Kingston, June 7: The second one-day cricket international between the West Indies and Sri Lanka has been abandoned because of rain without a ball being bowled.
Sri Lanka leads the three-match series 1-0 after winning the first match Thursday by 41 runs, giving former Proteas star Gary Kirsten his first win as Sri Lanka coach and the tourists first ODI win in the Caribbean in 13 years.
West Indies had earlier won the toss and elected to bowl first before unrelenting rain at Sabina Park forced the umpires to call off the day-night match around 6.30pm local time Saturday with no play possible. Only a few, hardy fans remained until the end. (AP)
