Bangladesh broke Indian hearts as they edged past the Indian U20 men’s team 4-3 in a penalty shootout after regulation time ended goalless to clinch the SAFF U20 Championship 2026 title in the Maldives on Friday. The shootout swung both ways before Bangladesh held their nerve to lift the trophy. For India, Md Arbash, Samson Ahongshangbam and Vishal Yadav converted from the spot, but Rishi Singh Ningthoukhongjam saw his effort saved, while Omang Dodum blasted his penalty over the crossbar.

The SA20 winners list is not just a record of champions — it is a timeline of how a young league found its personality.

Winning here hasn’t been about one superstar or one lucky season, but about repeatable systems — strong bowling attacks, calm leadership, and the ability to peak under knockout pressure. Sunrisers Eastern Cape has been the most successful team with three titles in the league since its inception. Winning the title in the inaugural edition, Sunrisers Eastern Cape went on to secure their second title in the second edition of the tournament.
