PALLEKELE, Sri Lanka (TheSportsNEXT) October 30, 2012: Mother Nature had the final say at Pallekele International Stadium on Tuesday when rain forced a no result in the one-off Twenty20 International match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand.






After the match was reduced to 14 overs a side due to torrential rain, New Zealand managed to score 74 for 14 overs.

Sri Lankans were given a target of 72 runs from 14 overs after the Duckworth/Lewis Method calculations.

Sri Lanka were six for no loss from two overs when it poured down for one final time to force the ICC match officials to eventually abandon the match.
