Adamas Howrah Warriors clinched their maiden Women's Bengal T20 League 2026 title at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Monday, 23 June, defeating Murshidabad Kueens by 6 wickets in a commanding final. Chasing a modest target of 96, the Warriors crossed the line in 18.5 overs with four wickets to spare, capping a dominant all-round display.
Kueens Restricted to 95/9
Murshidabad Kueens, who won the toss and elected to bat, were never allowed to build momentum. The Warriors' bowlers struck at regular intervals, keeping the Kueens batters on the back foot throughout the innings. The side could manage only 95/9 in their allotted 20 overs.
Kashish Agarwal top-scored for the Kueens with 21 off 27 deliveries, but found little support at the other end. Disha Chandak and Chandrima Ghoshal picked up two wickets each for the Warriors, with the rest of the bowling unit contributing crucial breakthroughs.
Steady Chase, Warriors in Control
The Warriors approached the 96-run target methodically, never allowing the low-scoring contest to become tense. Although Murshidabad Kueens managed to claim four wickets, the target was never steep enough to exert real pressure on the chasing side.
Priyanka Prasad led the batting with 29 off 34 deliveries, striking three fours and a six, anchoring the chase until the Warriors sealed victory in the 19th over. Srilekha Roy was named Player of the Match for her all-round contribution of 1/14 with the ball and an unbeaten 15 with the bat.
Prize Money and Tournament Honours
Adamas Howrah Warriors walked away with prize money of ₹30 lakh as champions, while runners-up Murshidabad Kueens received ₹20 lakh for their campaign across the tournament.

Brief Scorecard
Murshidabad Kueens: 95/9 (20 overs) lost to Adamas Howrah Warriors: 96/4 (18.5 overs) by 6 wickets.
The victory marks a landmark moment for women's cricket in West Bengal, and the Warriors will look to defend their title when the next edition of the league comes around.
Point of View
Not batting fireworks — restricting a side to 95 in a T20 final is a statement of intent. What stands out is the depth of the all-round contributions: no single bowler ran away with figures, yet the Kueens never settled. For women's cricket in West Bengal, a competitive final at Eden Gardens with structured prize money signals that the league is maturing beyond a developmental exercise. The real question now is whether the ₹30 lakh prize pool and the platform can retain and attract talent consistently, or whether the league remains a one-season story.
