The Bangladesh Premier League 2013 season, also known as BPL Season 2 or Prime Bank BPL 2013 (for sponsorship reasons), was the second season of the Bangladesh Premier League, established by the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) in 2012. The tournament began on 18 January 2013 and ended on 19 February.[1] The competition featured seven teams, with the addition of the Rangpur Riders.[2] Dhaka Gladiators became champions again by beating Chittagong Kings by 43 runs in the final.[3][4]
