Charith Asalanka scored a century before play in the one-day international series opener between Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe was called off because of rain on Saturday. Asalanka's 101 runs off 95 deliveries included four sixes and five boundaries as Sri Lanka made 273 for nine in 50 overs after captain Kusal Mendis won the toss and elected to bat first at R. Premadasa Stadium. Zimbabwe were 12 for two in four overs when rain interrupted play. A steady downpour ensured there was no further action.
