<p>Rain played spoilsport as the crucial ODI match between Sri Lanka and West Indies in the tri-nation series was pushed to the reserve day on Monday, at the Queen’s park oval here on Sunday. <br /><br />Riding on fast bowler Kemar Roach’s two quick wickets, West Indies had reduced Sri Lanka to 60 for three in 19 overs when heavens opened up and interrupted the play. With rain refusing to abate, the play was called off for the day and it will now resume on the reserve day. <br /><br />Earlier, after winning the toss, West Indies stand-in skipper Kieron Pollard elected to bowl first and his bowlers didn’t disappoint as they put Sri Lankan openers Mahela Jayawardene (7) and Upul Tharanga (7) under pressure right from the start. Both Roach (2/19) and Jason Holder (1/20) extracted good bounce from the pitch at the Queen’s park oval to make life difficult for the batsmen.</p>
