The ODI series played at Sabina Park in Kingston was heavily affected by rain. Sri Lanka won the opening match by 41 runs, while the second and third ODIs were abandoned without a ball being bowled. Consequently, Sri Lanka secured their first ODI series victory in the Caribbean in 23 years, having last won in 2003.[3]
