Mita Paul’s all-round performance helps Lux Shyam Kolkata Tigers clinch Bengal Women's Pro T20 League for the successive seasons

In a sensational display of all-round brilliance, Mita Paul powered Lux Shyam Kolkata Tigers to a stunning 16-run win (DLS method) over Sobisco Smashers Malda in a rain-affected Bengal Women's Pro T20 League 2025 final match held at the iconic Eden Gardens.

Named Player of the Match, Mita Paul’s performance was nothing short of legendary, blazing an innings of 51 runs off just 52 balls and then slicing through the opposition with the ball, claiming 2 crucial wickets for just 12 runs in a miserly spell of 3 overs. Her heroics not only anchored her team’s innings but also dismantled the Malda batting line-up when it mattered most.

Batting first, Lux Shyam Kolkata Tigers were bowled out for 104 in 19.5 overs. Apart from Mita’s knock, Parna Paul chipped in with a useful 14. For the Sobisco Smashers, Jeni Parveen was the pick of the bowlers with 3 for 8, but her efforts fell short in the face of Mita’s dominance.

In reply, Sobisco Smashers Malda collapsed to 22 for 4 in just 5.2 overs, failing to cope with the twin spin threats of Mita Paul and Prativa Mandi (2-0-10-2). None of the Malda batters could reach double digits, underlining the complete dominance of the Tigers’ bowling unit.
