Adam Gilchrist hit a century in his final hometown appearance in Perth to lead Australia to a 63-run victory over Sri Lanka in Friday's tri-series match.

Gilchrist bowed out at the WACA with 118, scoring half of Australia's all-out total of 236. It was his first one-day hundred since he made a breathtaking ton against Sri Lanka in last year's World Cup final in Barbados.

Sri Lanka replied with 173 despite a defiant 80 from their own wicketkeeper-batsman Kumar Sangakkara, handing the hosts a bonus point for their big winning margin.
