DAMBULLA, May 13: The threat of a tournament washout after persistent monsoon rains in Sri Lanka has prompted organisers of the triangular series, also involving New Zealand and Pakistan, to play all the remaining matches at Dambulla.

The last four games were scheduled to be played in Colombo but the prospects of play were remote given the waterlogged state of the venues and weather forecasts.

“The decision was taken due to the inclement weather currently prevailing in Colombo and the bad weather forecast for the next few days,” tournament official said in a statement.

The dates of the matches have also been changed with the fourth, fifth and sixth matches now to be played on May 18, 19 and 20.

Officials changed the date of the final twice on Tuesday, first setting it on May 23, than saying it was May 22, before changing it back to May 23.

Revised schedule:

May 18: Sri Lanka v Pakistan.

May 19: Sri Lanka v New Zealand.

May 20: Pakistan v New Zealand.

May 23: Final.—Reuters
