UAE Bulls were crowned champions of the 2025 Abu Dhabi T10, winning their first title in emphatic style. In the final they posted 150 for 1 and then bowled out Aspin Stallions for 70 to win by a massive 80 runs, one of the most one-sided finals in the league’s history.

The star of the night was Tim David, who smashed an unbeaten 98 off just 30 balls to set up the win. The result was a breakthrough title for the Bulls and carried them into 2026 as defending champions.

Abu Dhabi T10 2024: Deccan Gladiators

Deccan Gladiators claimed a record third Abu Dhabi T10 title in 2024, confirming their status as the league’s most successful franchise. Chasing 105 against Morrisville Samp Army in the final, the Gladiators made light work of the target, reaching 110 for 2 in just 6.5 overs to win by eight wickets with plenty to spare.

The dominant run chase capped another strong campaign and underlined the batting depth and big-match temperament that had made Deccan the team to beat across several seasons of the competition.

Abu Dhabi T10 2023: New York Strikers

New York Strikers won their maiden Abu Dhabi T10 title in 2023, and did so by denying Deccan Gladiators a hat-trick of titles. In a tense final, the Strikers restricted Deccan to 91 for 5 and then chased down the target, reaching 94 for 3 in 9.2 overs to win by seven wickets.

Led by the experienced Kieron Pollard, New York Strikers combined firepower with a composed run chase to lift the trophy and add their name to the league’s honours board.

Abu Dhabi T10 2022: Deccan Gladiators

Deccan Gladiators successfully defended their crown in 2022, winning back-to-back Abu Dhabi T10 titles. In the final they posted 128 for 4 and then restricted New York Strikers to 91 for 5, running out comfortable winners by 37 runs.

The victory made Deccan the first team to retain the title and strengthened their reputation as the dominant force of the competition, with a powerful batting line-up and a balanced attack that proved too strong for their rivals on the big night.

Abu Dhabi T10 2021-22: Deccan Gladiators

The 2021-22 Abu Dhabi T10, played in late 2021, delivered a first title for Deccan Gladiators after years as contenders. The final was a batting masterclass, with Deccan racing to 159 without loss in their 10 overs, one of the highest totals in league history.

Delhi Bulls could only manage 103 for 7 in reply, handing Deccan a thumping 56-run win. It was the start of a golden run for the Gladiators, who would go on to dominate the following seasons of the competition.

Abu Dhabi T10 2021: Northern Warriors

Northern Warriors won their second Abu Dhabi T10 title in the 2021 season, held early in the year. In a low-scoring final, they bowled out Delhi Bulls for 81 and then knocked off the runs to reach 85 for 2 in 8.2 overs, winning by eight wickets.

The comfortable chase showed the Warriors’ strength with the ball and their ability to deliver in knockout cricket, adding to the title they had won back in 2018 and marking them as one of the early powerhouses of the league.

Abu Dhabi T10 2019: Maratha Arabians

Maratha Arabians were the champions of the 2019 Abu Dhabi T10, getting the better of Deccan Gladiators in the final. After restricting Deccan to 87 for 8, the Arabians chased down the modest target with ease, reaching 89 for 2 in 7.2 overs to win by eight wickets.

The disciplined bowling performance set up a straightforward run chase and gave Maratha Arabians their first and only title to date in the competition.

Abu Dhabi T10 2018: Northern Warriors

Northern Warriors claimed their first Abu Dhabi T10 title in 2018, beating Pakhtoons in the final. Batting first, the Warriors posted a strong 140 for 3, a total that proved beyond Pakhtoons, who finished on 118 for 7 in reply.

The 22-run win gave Northern Warriors their maiden crown and established them as one of the early forces of the young league, a status they would reinforce with another title in the 2021 season.

Abu Dhabi T10 2017: Kerala Kings

Kerala Kings were the inaugural Abu Dhabi T10 champions in 2017, winning the very first edition of the competition. The Kings went through the tournament unbeaten and sealed the title with an eight-wicket win over Punjabi Legends in the final, chasing down 121 in just eight overs to reach 121 for 2.

Their run as the first ever T10 champions helped launch the format and set the template for the high-scoring, fast-paced cricket the league has become known for.
