Connection timeout when connect using ssh tunneling

Currently, I am able to connect to sql server using ssh tunneling using a nodejs package. However I cannot do the same with mssql-cli. The command I tried is:

~ mssql-cli -S "tcp:localhost,1433" -d database -U username -P password

Error message:

Error message: Connection Timeout Expired.  
The timeout period elapsed during the post-login phase.  
The connection could have timed out while waiting for server to complete the login process and respond; 
Or it could have timed out while attempting to create multiple active connections.  
The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - 
[Pre-Login] initialization=51; handshake=767; 
[Login] initialization=4; authentication=8; 
[Post-Login] complete=14067;

Try 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost. That is a known issue with mssql-cli and also sqlcmd.
