Chandimal, Shanaka set up easy Sri Lankan win

Boyd Rankin, in his first home match for Ireland since his return from England duty, also bowled well to finish as the most successful bowler with 2 for 45.

Ireland did well to restrict the Sri Lankans to just 23 in the last three overs but the tourist always had enough runs on the board.

The teams will wind up the short series with the second and final game at the same venue on Saturday.
