Chittagong Kings in the penultimate league match. The Burners defeated the table toppers
Duronto Rajshahi in the semi-final but lost the final against
Dhaka Gladiators by 8 wickets.

They defeated Dhaka Dynamites by 18 runs in the eliminator and Rangpur Riders by 5 wickets in the 2nd qualifier to reach the finals. They lost in a competitive final to Comilla Victorians by 3 wickets and ended up being the runner-up of that tournament.

last season. They signed
Dawid Malan,
Rumman Raees,
Thisara Perera and more from the overseas department while they retained Taijul Islam and Al-Amin Hossain from the local category. They also signed Shahriar Nafees,

Dhaka Dynamites but won against
Comilla Victorians and
