In the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders vs Sharjah Warriorz match, the England all-rounder scored 82* runs off only 38 balls. He decorated his innings with a couple of 4s and eight over-boundaries. Sherfane Rutherford, Alex Hales, and Alishan Sharafu also played their parts well. Because of the team effort and Livingston's unbeaten 82-run knock, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders registered 233 runs in 20 overs, batting first.

Explosive batting from RCB star Liam Livingston 

Sharjah Warriors tried hard to get a win by defeating Abu Dhabi Knight Riders, but the target was too big for them to achieve. Dwayne Pretorius scored 39 runs, and Tim David scored a half-century, but the rest of the batting line-up let the home team down. In front of a massive total of 233 runs, Warriors could get only 194 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. 

The explosive batting of Liam Livingston definitely caught the attention of IPL franchises, as multiple teams will try to cash in for an overseas all-rounder who can hit the ball hard. Ahead of the IPL 2026 mini auction, RCB did not retain Liam Livingston. In IPL 2025, in 8 innings, the all-rounder scored only 112 runs for RCB, including a 54-run innings.
