New Delhi: Sri Lanka found a welcome friend in the form of rain ahead of the fifth and final ODI that has delayed the start of play at Colombo.

Steady drizzle has forced the ground staff to cover the entire ground with covers. Super Soppers are out there doing over time.

However, there is a lot of time left to sneak out a game, it looks unlikely that a full 50 over game will take place as there is forecast of rain throughout the day

Sri Lanka would not complain though, they are trailing India by 0-4 and looking at state of the hosts it is unlikely that they can stop a rampaging India from an inevitable whitewash.
