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.

Kumar Sangakkara scored a half-century and Ajantha Mendis took four wickets to underpin Sri Lanka's 26-run victory over the West Indies in the third and final One-Day International in Colombo.

Sangakkara's 75 enabled Sri Lanka to post 277 for nine and Mendis then took four for 46 as a battling West Indies were bowled out for 251 with the result that Sri Lanka took the three-match series by two games to nil.

Rain and bad light closed in in Galle to ensure that the opening Test between Sri Lanka and the West Indies was drawn after a whole sessions's worth of play was lost on the final day.

Sri Lanka closed the match on 241 for four in their second innings thanks to half-centuries from Tharanga Paranavitana (95), Tillakaratne DIlshan (54) and Mahela Jayawardene (58).

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.
