Pallekele weather hourly: With rain halting progress, the second innings of Australia versus Sri Lanka 2nd ODI has been reduced to 43 Overs.

During the second ODI of the ongoing Australia tour of Sri Lanka at the Pallekele International Stadium, the Sri Lankan innings was forced to end at the 47.4 Over mark, after rain decided to halt the match proceedings for more than a couple of hours.

Resultantly, the match had to be reduced to 43 Overs in the second innings, with Australia being handed the target of 216 runs after the DLS method adjustments.

Sri Lanka, with mere one wicket remaining before the rain delay, had managed to huff and puff towards the score of 220, with 14 legal deliveries yet to be bowled in the innings.

Devoid of any significant partnership for any wicket throughout the innings, crucial thirties from the likes of Kusal  Mendis (36 off 41), Dhananjaya de Silva (34 off 41), and skipper Dasun Shanaka (34 off 36) meant that their side managed to at least go past the 200-run mark.
