Hosts Sri Lanka have beaten South Africa in the 2nd ODI of the five-match series in a rain-affected 17 run victory in Colombo.

According to Sky Sports, Sri Lanka were declared winners on the Duckworth-Lewis Method after the visitors, set a revised target of 176 in 29 overs, could only reach 104-5 off 21 overs when rain forced the teams off again, with no more play possible.

The hosts, who won the opening ODI by 180 runs, had earlier reached 223-9 after winning the toss before the weather ended their innings with four balls remaining, the report said.
