The 2025 edition of the Abu Dhabi T10 concluded on November 30 with UAE Bulls asserting their dominance in the final against Aspin Stallions. In a match that showcased the explosive nature of the shortest format, UAE Bulls posted 150 for 1 in their 10 overs and then restricted the Stallions to just 70 for 4, sealing an emphatic victory by 80 runs.
Batting first, UAE Bulls were powered by a blistering knock from Tim David, who scored 98 off 30 balls, including 12 sixes. His innings set the tone for the match, providing both a huge total and momentum. Supporting contributions from other batters ensured the Bulls maintained a high scoring rate throughout, allowing them to post a total that proved insurmountable in the ultra-fast-paced T10 format.
When it came to defending their target, UAE Bulls’ bowlers executed their plans perfectly. Early wickets fell, putting the Stallions on the back foot immediately. Sompal Kami led the attack with tight lines and clever variations, taking 2 for 23, while Rashid Khan controlled the middle overs with 1 for 21, mixing flight, spin, and pace to stifle scoring. The Stallions never found a way to build partnerships, and the chase unraveled under pressure.
The final highlighted the intensity and unpredictability of T10 cricket. With only 60 balls per innings, every delivery carries weight, and UAE Bulls demonstrated both strategic discipline and execution under pressure.
