Dambulla, Oct 11 (AP/UNB) — Rain wiped out play after just 15 overs of the first one-day international between Sri Lanka and England on Wednesday.
England had been asked to bat first by Sri Lanka skipper Dinesh Chandimal and reached 92-2 before play was called off.
Play got under way at the Ranjiri ground on schedule, but only a bit more than an hour's action was possible before a lengthy downpour began rendering the outfield unplayable despite extensive covering.
