After the second ODI of the originally scheduled three-match ODI series was abandoned due to rain, the schedule for the series was adjusted to allow the game to be rearranged.[5] However, the lack of approval from International Cricket Council regarding staging an extra ODI to make up for the abandoned match meant that the ODI series ended according to the original schedule, which Sri Lanka won 1–0.[6] Sri Lanka also won the ensuing T20I series 2–1.[7]
