NEW DELHI: The second one-day international between New Zealand and Sri Lanka was washed out by persistent rain at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Tuesday. The washout dealt a further blow to the tourists' slender hopes of automatic qualification for this year's World Cup.
Sri Lanka, who won the World Cup title in 1996, will receive only five points from the abandoned match. They could have earned 10 points for a win.
