Rain played spoilsport for the second successive day, washing out the tri-series one-day international between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, in Dambulla, on Friday.

The fourth match of the triangular series between the two nations was called off on Thursday without a ball being bowled because of incessant rain, forcing the organisers to schedule play on the reserve day.

Mahela Jayawardene was unbeaten on 59, having scored his 55th one-day international fifty, with Chamara Silva on 41 when play was halted.
