Windies take series as one-day abandoned after downpour

WEST INDIES claimed a 2-0 series triumph over Sri Lanka after the third one-day international was abandoned following heavy rain.

With the hosts holding an unassailable 2-0 series lead following two victories in Port of Spain, Sri Lanka sought to restore some pride on a slow wicket at the Beausejour Cricket Ground in St Lucia.

Mahela Udawatte top-scored with 73 to help the tourists to 257 for eight before Sewnarine Chattergoon hit 46 as the West Indies reached 81 for two after 18.2 overs when rain ended proceedings.
