A match between Sri Lanka and the West Indies produced a positive result for the first time during a tour that began in November when Sri Lanka scored an eight-wicket victory in the second One-Day International in Colombo. Rain saw all three Tests in November and December drawn and washed out the opening ODI but despite showers again interrupting proceedings, Sri Lanka managed to take a 1-0 series lead.
Opening batsman Adrian Barath scored his maiden One-Day International century as the West Indies posted 245 for five before the opening match against Sri Lanka in Colombo was abandoned due to rain. Barath made 113 and Ramnaresh Sarwan marked his recall with 75 to lead the tourists to a competitive score in a series rearranged from December - due also to bad weather.
