Rain played spoilsport in the 3rd ODI between Sri Lanka and Pakistan in Colombo on Wednesday. It was a crucial match in context of the series, but the Rain Gods had other ideas and just 6.2 overs of play was possible in the match. Pakistan were batting first and they again got off to a poor start losing Md. Hafeez early. Hafeez was out for a duck when he edged one into the safe hands of Kumar Sangakkara and Malinga was the wicket taker in this case. Azhar Ali played a steady knock of 96 in the 2nd ODI and once again there were high expectations from him. But Nuwan Kulasekara cut his innings short for just 7 when he trapped him in front of the stumps. Pakistan were tottering 12/2 in 6.2 overs when rain came down and no further play was possible in the day. At about 8p.m Local Time, the umpires decided to abandon the match. The series is still tied at 1-1 with two ODI's remaining. The next match is scheduled to be played on Saturday.
PAK-12/2 (6.2)
Hafeez-0
Azhar Ali-7
Shafiq-5*
Misbah-0*
