Australia’s Tim David crashed a stunning 98 from 30 balls as UAE Bulls won their first Abu Dhabi T10 League title with an 80-run win over Aspin Stallions.
After being put in to bat, James Vince retired hurt early for Bulls, before Phil Salt (18) fell in the third over.
From there it was the David show. He had hit 57 off 18 balls earlier in the day to lead Bulls to the final, but this was even better.
He hit three fours and 12 sixes as he shared an unbroken 128 with Rovman Powell (24* off 20) to power Bulls to 150-1.
Stallions, who were playing in the competition for the first time, never got going in reply and were 10-1 after two overs and already well behind the required run-rate.
They finished on 70-4 with Rahmanullah Gurbaz top-scoring with 18.
David finishes the tournament as the leading run-scorer (393), with England’s Salt second on 256.
Australia’s Andrew Tye was the leading wicket-taker with 13.
