Fast bowler Rubel Hossain has claimed 4-46 as Sri Lanka was dismissed for 221 in 50 overs in the one-day tournament final against Bangladesh.
Rubel's fellow pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman returned figures of 2-29 to slow down Sri Lanka halfway through the innings when it appeared set for a big total.
Sri Lankan opener Upul Tharanga made a watchful 56 off 99 balls, including five fours, but was dismissed by a delivery from Mustafizur that kept low.
Tharanga's dismissal in the 36th over effectively stalled the progress of Sri Lanka, which won the toss and made a fluent start despite losing opener Danushka Gunathilaka cheaply.
Kusal Mendis smashed 28 off just nine balls, hitting two fours and three sixes to lead the visitors' charge but he played a rash shot to throw away his wicket.
Tharanga and Niroshan Dickwella combined for a 71-run third-wicket stand to keep Sri Lanka moving along before Dickwella played a reckless shot to be dismissed for 42.
Sri Lanka's captain Dinesh Chandimal joined Tharanga but Bangladesh, led by Mustafizur and Rubel, stemmed the run flow.
Chandimal held together the innings, hitting just one six in his 74-ball 45 but was out to Rubel in the 48th over in an attempt to play a big shot.
