Lanka-afghanistan tie washed out

Heavy rain forced an early end on Sunday to the second one-day international between Sri Lanka and Afghanistan at the start of the hosts' run chase.

Set a target of 229 runs to win at the Pallekele International Stadium, Sri Lanka had reached 10-0 in 2.4 overs when rain forced the players off. It didn't stop and just before 9pm local time the ODI was called off.

Afghanistan still leads the three-match series 1-0 after the no result. It won the opener on Friday by 60 runs, with both teams unchanged on Sunday.
