  • Rain washes out final WT20I game at Dunedin
  • Athapaththu named Player of the Series

Dunedin rain washed away hopes of a series result between New Zealand and Sri Lanka after only 14.1 overs were possible in the third T20I which ended in a no-result yesterday.

Several lengthy rain delays ended any hopes of a result after New Zealand had made a bright start with the bat, having been sent in by Chamari Athapaththu.

Suzie Bates and Georgia Plimmer shared a 60-run stand in eight overs before the first rain delay halted play. Shortly after returning Bates fell to Athapaththu for 31 off 28 (3 fours) before rain returned again.

The match was reduced to 15-overs a side thanks to the second delay. Sri Lanka’s bowlers made the most of the break, picking up two wickets in return. Plimmer continued her good form striking three boundaries and two sixes to reach 46* off 37 balls (3 fours, 2 sixes) before rain ended the match.

Athapaththu finished player of the truncated series with scores of 64* and 23 and bowling returns of 1/0, 0/19 and 1/19 across the series.

Scores: 

New Zealand Women 101-3 (14.1) (Suzie Bates 31, Georgia Plimmer 46*) v Sri Lanka Women
