A match was abandoned due to rain last year around the same time against India without a ball being bowled.. Thundershowers are predicted during the match days.. Hope the matches are a full 50 over game..  As always toss is a crucial issue in any D/N games in the sub-continent and more so in Lanka as toss more or less decides the fate of the game..
