Master spinner Muttiah Muralitharan enjoyed the rare chance to win a match for Sri Lanka with the bat in a tense finish to the Tri-Nations final against Bangladesh in Mirpur.
Muralitharan, who has an ODI batting average of just over six, crashed four fours and two sixes to steer the tourists to their target of 153 in a match where the specialist batsmen found scoring runs treacherous.
His 16-ball 33 not out, combined with a more measured 38no from Farveez Maharoof, saw Sri Lanka to a two-wicket victory.
