Rain Washes Out the 3rd Cricket International in the West Indies. Sri Lanka Wins the Series 1-0
- On Monday, the third one-day cricket international between West Indies and Sri Lanka was abandoned at Sabina Park without a ball bowled. Umpires called off the match just after 6 p.m. because the outfield could not be made ready for play.
- Two consecutive washouts secured a 1-0 series victory for Sri Lanka, following their 41-run win in the opening match—their first ODI victory in the Caribbean in 13 years.
- Sri Lanka captain Kusal Mendis celebrated his first series victory, which also marked the first win for new coach Gary Kirsten, a former South Africa star. West Indies captain Shai Hope said, "You can't control mother nature."
- Mendis praised his team's performance across all three departments in the opening game, emphasizing the limited matches remaining before next year's World Cup as the team focuses on development.
- The tour continues on Thursday in Kingston with the first of three Twenty20 internationals, marking a shift from the one-day format as the series concludes.
