Rain halts play between Sri Lanka and Australia

Sri Lanka were 146/3 in 32.5 overs in their World Cup clash against Australia when rain stopped play at the R Premadasa stadium in Colombo on Saturday.



The rain interruption came after Australia produced a dominant bowling performance to clinch three wickets.



Lee and Tait clinched the wickets of Tharanga and Dilshan while Jayawardene was run out as a result of a direct throw by Steven Smith at the bowler’s end.



However, Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara gave some stability to the home team’s batting by scoring a fighting fity, his sixth in World Cup and 61st in ODIs.



Earlier, Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara won the toss and decided to bat first against Australia in the crucial World Cup tie at R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Saturday.
