The second T20I of the three-match series between Pakistan and Sri Lanka has been called off due to rain here at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium.
The persistent rain had delayed the toss, and heavy rain had led to the fixture being canceled.
The third T20I will be played on Sunday, 11 January at the same venue.
The three-match T20I series serves as a preparatory platform for the forthcoming ICC T20 World Cup, which will begin on 7 February in Sri Lanka and India.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka have squared off 27 times in the limited-overs format, with the Green Shirts winning 17 out of those encounters.
