BRISTOL: The third and final ODI between England and Sri Lanka was abandoned due to rain in Bristol on Sunday.

England had already won the ODI series 2-0 but missed the chance of sweeping the series as the third ODI was called off due to heavy rain.

"Rain has the final say. The third ODI has been called off and England take the series 2-0. The sides will share the points from today's game in the ICC Men's @cricketworldcup Super League standings," ICC tweeted.

Asked to bat first in the third ODI, Sri Lanka put on another disappointing show as the visitors were bundled out for 166 in the 42nd over. Tom Curran finished with impressive figures of 4/35 as he ran through Sri Lanka's tail on Sunday.

Except for Dasun Shanaka, no Sri Lankan batsmen looked comfortable against England bowlers. The 29-year-old all-rounder scored an unbeaten 48 runs off 65 balls. Agencies
