Colombo, March 18 (CRICKETNMORE) - <\/strong>Top-order batsman Sabbir Rahman dragged Bangladesh out of a hole with a well paced 50-ball 77 to help his team post a fighting 166\/8 in the final of the Nidahas Trophy T20 tri-series at the R.Premadasa Stadium here on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

After spinners Yuzvendra Chahal (3\/18) and Washington Sundar (1\/20) took four wickets between them to leave their rivals reeling at 68\/4 at one stage, Sabbir mixed caution with aggression to hit seven fours and four sixes before Jaydev Unadkat (2\/33) took his wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the last over, Mehidy Hasan (19 not out) took 18 runs off Shardul Thakur (0\/45) who had a forgettable outing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Openers Tamim Iqbal (15) and Liton Das (11) got off to a steady start but just when they looked to step on the gas, in-form Sundar put a spanner in their works, stretching his purple patch with the ball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sundar bowled a slower one just outside off stump, forcing Das into a slog sweep which went straight up in the air to Suresh Raina who completed an easy catch near short fine leg.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the next over, the dangerous Iqbal followed suit thanks to an acrobatic catch by Thakur on the very edge of the long-on boundary off Chahal's bowling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Chahal removed Soumya Sarkar (1) in the same over, the batsman sweeping straigh to Shikhar Dhawan at square leg, as Bangladesh looked in disarray inside the Powerplay tottering at 40\/3 in six overs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

At the halfway stage, Bangladesh were 68\/3 with Rahman and Mushfiqur Rahim (9) trying to stem the rot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the very first ball of the 11th over, Chahal grabbed his third wicket as Rahim miscued a widish googly, skying the ball over backward point where Vijay Shankar took a fine diving catch running to his right. The pair added 35 runs for the fourth wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Mahmudullah (21), who hit the winning six in the last do-or-die game against hosts Sri Lanka, took time to get going and along with Sabbir looked to build a partnership.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bangladesh struggled to find the boundary with Mahmudullah breaking a four-over drought with a sublime shot between backward point and short third man off Unadkat in the 13th over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Mahmudullah's run out brought an end to their patient association of 36 runs for the fifth wicket but Sabbir lived up to his reputation of a promising young player by smacking Shankar for two sixes in the 17th over and Sundar for one in the previous over.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the 18th over, Rahman showed deft skills to and place the ball behind the wicket with exploit both third man and fine leg inside the ring for consecutive boundaries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Trying to go for one too many, Rahman's brilliant innings came to end with Unadkat ruffling his wickets to get his first wicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the same over, Unadkat castled Rubel Hossain (0) and gave away just three runs to underline his potential as a death bowler.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
