CAPTAIN Tillakaratne Dilshan scored his maiden Twenty20 international century to lead Sri Lanka to an emphatic 35-run victory over Australia in Kandy on Saturday.
Opener Dilshan struck 12 fours and five sixes as he raced to 104 not out off 57 balls. He shared an unbeaten partnership of 104 off 45 balls for the fourth wicket with Jeevan Mendis (29). Sri Lanka, which was asked to bat, reached 198-3 and put the brakes on the Australian batting through its spinners to restrict the visitors to 163-8 with only David Warner making any impression with 53 off 31 balls. Off-spinner Dilruwan Perera, making his debut, took 3-26.
