The start of the first One-Day International between Sri Lanka and New Zealand at the Pallekele Stadium was delayed due to rains on Thursday.
Persistent rains washed out the one-off Twenty20 international match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand at the Pallekele International Stadium on Tuesday.
In the rain-truncated match, Sri Lanka reached six for no loss, chasing 75 to win from 14 overs.
Earlier, Sri Lanka restricted a hapless New Zealand to a paltry score of 74 for seven from 14 overs.
Put in to bat first, New Zealand made a disastrous start to their innings losing the top order cheaply.
Tim Southee top-scored with 21 and BJ Watling scored 16 after New Zealand top order flopped.
New Zealand were strugglilng at 24 for five when rain halted play during the ninth over.
