The ICC Champions Trophy final was washed out today, with India and Sri Lanka therefore sharing the honours in Colombo today. The all Asian clash in the 12-team event looked set for an exciting finish before drizzle, followed by thunder and lightning, forced the match to be abandoned. The two finalists shared the trophy and the winners’ purse of $300,000.
The match had been forced into today's reserve day after Sunday's final was abandoned because of rain. India were 38 for one in 8.4 overs chasing a modest but challenging target of 223 when players were forced off the field in the day-night game.
