Watch: Tim David smashes five sixes in final score for 98* in 30 balls during Abu Dhabi T10 league final

The Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) fans were pretty happy on November 30 as their former captain, Virat Kohli, smashed a fine century during the ODI contest against South Africa. But their joy knew no bounds when their lower-order batter, Tim David, smashed a fine knock of 98 runs in 30 balls during the Abu Dhabi T20 League final.

The Australian batter wreaked havoc in the final for the UAE Bulls against the Rahmanullah Gurbaz-led Aspin Stallions at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium. James Vince retired hurt early in the innings, while another RCB player, Phil Salt, clubbed 18 runs in eight balls. Rovman Powell smashed 24 runs in 20 balls, but the eyes were on Tim David.

The right-handed batter remained unbeaten on 98 runs in just 30 balls at a strike rate of 326.67, with the help of three boundaries and 12 sixes. This knock included five over boundaries in the final over of the series against Ashmead Nedd as the Bulls fired their way to 150/1 in 10 overs.

In the penultimate over of the first innings, David reached his fifty with a six off just 20 deliveries. He hit Hafeez for two more sixes in that over before starting the final over with a massive six over long-off. He hit the next ball towards the deep mid-wicket region and smacked another ball over the long-off, deep mid-wicket, and deep extra cover for four successive sixes.

The Stallions were never in the chase as they kept losing wickets and never got the runs on the board as expected of them. The highest individual score of the board belongs to their captain, Gurbaz, who smashed 18 runs in 15 balls with the help of three boundaries at a strike rate of 120.

Fazalhaq Farooqi, Junaid Siddique, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Qais Ahmed picked up one wicket each in the four overs as the Bulls won the contest by 80 runs to lift the title.
