Sydney ODI abandoned due to rain, wet outfield

January 20, 2013

The fourth One-day International between Australia and Sri Lanka was abandoned due to rain and wet outfield but not before the hosts' batting frailties were exposed again on Sunday.

- Scorecard

Bowled out for 74 runs inside 27 overs in Friday's match at Brisbane, Australia wobbled again before reaching 222-9 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Mitchell Starc hit a career-best 52 not out off 37 balls to lead a recovery from 130-6 and Sri Lanka were 14 for no loss in 3.2 overs before rain forced the umpires to take the players off.

The match was abandoned two hours later because of a wet outfield.

Sri Lanka head to Hobart for Wednesday's final match with a 2-1 lead.
