Season 1 (2024): Joint Men’s Title and the Tigers’ Arrival

Furthermore, the inaugural season ran by the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) opened on June 11, 2024, with eight men’s franchises split between Eden Gardens and the JU Salt Lake Campus ground. Consequently, the tournament set its template early.

Men’s Final 2024: Rain Forces a Shared Crown

As a result of relentless rain, the men’s final never produced a winner on the field. Specifically, Sobisco Smashers Malda posted 116/8 in 20 overs at Eden Gardens on June 28, 2024.

Subsequently, Murshidabad Kings reached 7/0 in 1.1 overs before play stopped permanently. Therefore, CAB officials declared both sides joint champions, an unusual but fitting end to a tight first season

Additionally, Ranjot Khaira (21) and Saurabh Singh (20) were the only notable scorers for Malda. Meanwhile, Dilshad Khan and Jeet Thakur picked up two wickets apiece for the Kings.

Women’s Final 2024: Tigers Defend a Modest Total

In contrast to the men’s washout, the women’s final delivered a clean result. Notably, on June 28, 2024, the Lux Shyam Kolkata Tigers posted 110/5 at Eden Gardens.

Furthermore, the Tigers held Murshidabad Kueens to 105/9, winning by 5 runs. Consequently, they became the league’s first women’s champions, a detail several listings get wrong.

Season 2 (2025): Howrah’s Breakthrough and Back-to-Back Tigers

Moreover, Season 2 finally delivered two outright winners. Specifically, the men’s final shifted the spotlight to Howrah, while the women’s title stayed in familiar hands at Kolkata.

Men’s Final 2025: Howrah Warriors Hold Their Nerve

On June 28, 2025, the Adamas Howrah Warriors beat the Murshidabad Kings by 9 runs at Eden Gardens. Specifically, Howrah batted first and posted 150/9 in 20 overs.

Meanwhile, Howrah’s bowlers held the Kings to 141/8 despite Tanmoy Pramanick‘s 48 off 33 balls. Notably, Kanishk Seth (3/39) and Player of the Match Saksham Sharma (2/36) led the bowling effort.

Furthermore, Shakir Habib Gandhi (31) and Aditya Purohit (30) anchored the Warriors’ total. As a result, Murshidabad fell short in a final for the second straight year.

Women’s Final 2025: Tigers Complete the Double

Similarly, the Lux Shyam Kolkata Tigers defended their title with a 16-run DLS-method win over Sobisco Smashers Malda Women. Specifically, captain and all-rounder Mita Paul led the side in a rain-affected decider.

Consequently, the Tigers became the only franchise in Bengal Pro T20 League history to win back-to-back titles. In other words, no men’s side has yet matched that consistency.

Season 3 (2026): Rarh Tigers’ Masterclass and the Rainy Double-Washout

The third edition of the tournament concluded on June 21, 2026, delivering a rain-interrupted slate on grand finale day that altered the landscape of the winners list.

Men’s Final 2026: Shahbaz Ahmed Powers Shrachi Rarh Tigers

In a highly anticipated, rain-curtailed 15-overs-a-side blockbuster at Eden Gardens, the Shrachi Rarh Tigers defeated Sobisco Smashers Malda by 9 runs (VJD method).

Rarh Tigers posted a massive 165/4 in 15 overs, spearheaded by captain Shahbaz Ahmed’s phenomenal unbeaten 88* off just 46 balls, alongside Gaurav Singh Chauhan’s 55. Chasing a revised DLS target of 107 in 9 overs due to further downpours, Malda fought valiantly to reach 97/5 but fell just short.

Notable Patterns From the Bengal T20 League Winners

Interestingly, a few clear trends emerge once you line up the first two seasons side by side. Furthermore, these patterns explain why fans treat Murshidabad as the tournament’s near-miss specialists.

  • Eden Gardens dominance: Eden Gardens, Kolkata has hosted every men’s and women’s final so far.
  • Kolkata Tigers’ grip: The Tigers are the only side with multiple titles (both in the women’s division).
  • Murshidabad Kings’ heartbreak: The Kings have reached both men’s finals but are still chasing an outright trophy, finishing as joint winners in 2024 and runners-up in 2025.
  • Different men’s champions every year: Each men’s edition has produced a new champion, signalling a competitive league with no clear dynasty yet.
  • Tight margins: The 2024 women’s final ended by just 5 runs and the 2025 men’s final by 9 runs, so finals here rarely turn into one-sided affairs.

Final Word: Bengal Pro T20 league is Evolving And Getting New Champions

To recap, the Bengal Pro T20 League winners list features six trophies across three seasons, with the Lux Shyam Kolkata Tigers remaining as the only multi-title holder.

Furthermore, the Shrachi Rarh Tigers carry the men’s crown out of 2026, while the women’s division looks toward the next full season to restart its competitive balance.

With Season 3 wrapped up through an auction-built format, a new script has been written, crowning the Rarh Tigers in the men’s tier while leaving fans waiting for a clean conclusion to the women’s bracket next time.
