Mahela Jaywardene sparkled with a century in Sri Lanka's 14-run win over Zimbabwe by the Duckworth-Lewis (D/L) method in a rain-interrupted Group B match of the World Twenty20 at the Providence stadium here Monday.

Jaywardene's 64-ball fluent knock propelled Sri Lanka to a competitive 173 for seven from their 20 overs but the skies opened up moments after the first over of the Zimbabwe's innings.
