Guatam Gambhir made 102 runs Sri Lanka pay for an early reprieve by blasting his way to a century, but rain again had the final say as the one-day match in Brisbane was draw out.

First two tri-series matches have now failed to be resolved after the opening match, between Australia and India last Sunday, also at the Gabba, fell victim to the elements.

{On Tuesday, the rain cut down a match that was tantalisingly poised at the halfway mark after Gambhir, dropped on 11 by wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara, posted a scintillating unbeaten 102 from 101 balls, including 10 fours and a six, to steer India to 4-267.}
{The 26-year-old and skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni (88 not out off 95) combined for a 184-run stand that rescued India after they had slumped to 4-83 in the 21st over.}
