Sydney ODI abandoned due to rain, wet outfield
SYDNEY (Reuters) - The fourth one-day international between Australia and Sri Lanka was abandoned due to rain and wet outfield but not before the hosts' batting frailties were exposed again on Sunday.
Bowled out for 74 runs inside 27 overs in Friday's match at Brisbane, Australia wobbled again before reaching 222-9 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

The match was abandoned two hours later because of a wet outfield.
Sri Lanka head to Hobart for Wednesday's final match with a 2-1 lead.
