Middle-order Sri Lanka batsman Tillakaratne Dilshan expressed happiness on his individual form and performance after guiding his side to a crushing eight-wicket win against Australia in the second final at the Adelaide Oval.

Dilshan smashed a strokeful 106 as Sri Lanka spanked Australia by eight wickets to level the best-of-three tri-series finals 1-1 on Tuesday.

Chasing Australia's competitive 271 for six, built around skipper Michael Clarke's 117 and David Warner's 100, the islanders rode on a 179-run partnership for the opening wicket to overhaul the target with 34 balls to spare in what turned out to be a lop-sided contest.

Dilshan, who hit his 12th ODI century, and captain Mahela Jayawardene (80), rattled up the runs in just 27-odd overs which made the chase of 272 runs under lights easy.
