Poor weather in St Lucia saw the third one-day international abandoned, denying Sri Lanka a consolation win as West Indies won the series 2-0.

Sri Lanka had posted 257-8 in their innings and West Indies were 81-2 after 18.2 overs, Sewnarine Chattergoon hitting 46, when the rain came.

The hosts already had an unassailable 2-0 lead after wins in Port of Spain.

But Sri Lanka sought to restore some pride on a slow wicket in St Lucia with Mahela Udawatte top-scoring with 73.
