Fourth NZ-Sri Lanka ODI rained out
Play in the fourth one-day worldwide between New Zealand and Sri Lanka at Saxton Oval will be reduced to 24 overs each after heavy rain in Nelson on Saturday prevented the start of play.

Matt Henry, who starred with four wickets in each of the Black Caps’ two wins at the start of the series before leaving the squad as planned, has been recalled for Southee.
The last boundary took Taylor to 20, but it was also the signal for the players to leave the field, as the drizzle returned.
The umpires officially called off the match shortly before 5pm.
The fifth match is at Mt. Maunganui on Tuesday.
With the Duckworth-Lewis system likely to have a bearing on the outcome, Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews said bowling first was the only option.
After a couple of quiet overs, Martin Guptill (27) went berserk smashing Dushmantha Chameera (1-32) for three sixes in the third over.
Kane Williamson, again filling in as captain for the injured Brendon McCullum, got a leading edge on 12 and was caught and bowled by Chameera to leave New Zealand at 53-3.
New Zealand were 75-3 in nine overs at the time of the stoppage.

Before the rain, Sri Lanka made a decent start to the game, capturing three wickets for just 53 runs after winning the toss.
