Australian power-hitter Tim David produced one of the most destructive innings ever seen in T10 cricket, smashing 98 runs off just 30 balls* in the Abu Dhabi T10 League 2025 Final. Playing for UAE Bulls, David single-handedly changed the match, helping his team lift the championship by defeating Aspin Stallions.
This innings comes just months before IPL 2026, giving RCB fans a huge reason to celebrate, as David continues to showcase elite finishing skills in world cricket.
UAE Bulls vs Aspin Stallions (Final)
The final at Sheikh Zayed Stadium began poorly for UAE Bulls when openers James Vince (0) and Phil Salt (18) fell early. At 21/2, the team was under pressure — until Tim David walked in and completely changed the game.
David initially took time to settle, but once he opened up, the Stallions had no answer to his raw power. He hit 12 sixes and 3 fours, ending with an extraordinary strike rate of 326.67.
Thanks to his innings, UAE Bulls posted a huge score of 150/3 in 10 overs. In reply, Aspin Stallions collapsed under scoreboard pressure. Apart from Rahmanullah Gurbaz (18), none of their batters crossed 20 runs. The team finished on just 70/8, handing the Bulls a massive 80-run victory.
