Columbo : The Group A match between Australia and Srilanka was stopped when rain started at columbo, at the time the Sri Lanka were on 146 for three after 32.5 overs having won the toss.
Captain Kumar Sangakkara (73 not out) and Thilan Samaraweera (34 not out) were sharing an unbroken fourth wicket partnership of 71 runs when the players had to run off the field.
Several huge puddles could be seen swiftly forming after the skies opened at just after 1700 local time (1130 GMT) and with the rain not relenting three hours later, officials called off the match.
With no result possible, the teams will be awarded one point each.
