Dilshan made 51 off 88 balls with four boundaries adding 137 runs with Thirimanne while debutant Kushal Perera, promoted up the order, clobbered a six and four off consecutive deliveries off spinner Doherty in the 38th over.
Chasing a target of 171 in the second one-day international against Australia, Sri Lanka fought hard after having lost Upul Tharanga for a duck in the third ball of the innings at the Adelaide Oval.
