After a 6-year hiatus since 2018, the T20 Mumbai Cricket League is back on May 27, 2025! 6 years is a long time, so in case you've forgotten some of the rules, let’s do a quick rundown together, shall we?
The full guide includes tournament rules, past champions, match schedules, and championship odds predictions. Sounds a bit boring, right? Well, don’t worry—we’ve summarized it for you, so you can skip the boring stuff and focus on getting hyped for T20 Mumbai 2025!
T20 Mumbai uses a round-robin format. Each team consists of 11 players (batsmen, bowlers, all-rounders, and wicketkeepers). There are 2 innings, each with 20 overs. A bowler delivers 6 legal balls before moving to the next over, and each team bowls a total of 120 balls.
T20 Mumbai has a halftime break of around 10-15 minutes for the team switch, and the entire match lasts about 3 hours.
If the match ends in a tie, it will go into a Super Over to determine the winner. Each team will send 2 batsmen to face 6 balls, and the team with the highest score will be declared the winner.
The 2025 T20 Mumbai Cricket League features 8 teams, each representing different regions of Mumbai! The teams are Aakash Tigers, ARCS, Eagles, Namo Blasters, Panthers, Lions, Sobo, and Knights.

In 2020, the league was forced to pause for nearly 5 years due to the impact of Covid-19. After nearly 5 years, the tournament is finally set to resume on May 27, 2025.
In 2018 and 2019, T20 Mumbai successfully held two tournaments, with the champion's prize money approximately ₹20,00,000 each year.
The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) has announced the resumption of the T20 Mumbai Cricket League on May 27, 2025. The season will last approximately two weeks, around 10 to 15 days, with the final scheduled to take place on June 10.

This venue has standard pitch dimensions, but its shorter boundaries make it ideal for big hitting, offering versatility for various sports.

One of Mumbai's most famous cricket training grounds, it features dozens of smaller pitches. Although it's not a professional-level stadium, it is frequently used for local Mumbai cricket matches and T20 qualifiers.
