Brisbane: The second match in the triangular one-day cricket series was abandoned on Tuesday when heavy rains meant Sri Lanka were unable to take the field in pursuit of India's total of 267 for four.

Earlier, a century from Gautam Gambhir and an unbeaten 88 from captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni led an Indian recovery.

India finished on 267 after at one stage slumping to 83-4, losing three wickets for just three runs.
