In a 15th-match of the ongoing Abu Dhabi T10 tournament, Isuru Udana did one of the most impressive fielding acts of the 2025 season by dismissing starter Aneurin Donald by a spectacular one-handed running catch. The Ajman Titans proceeded to defeat the Royal Champs by seven wickets however the performance of Udana in the initial part of the chase was remarkable.
Two teams that had different outcomes were involved in the game. Ajman Titans had also won the last game, whereas the Royal Champs were seeking to come out of their three matches of defeat. The Titans chose to bowl first, and though their bowlers maintained a check on things, the best moment of the game came during the first over of the chase by the Titans where Udana displayed emphatic skill in the field.
Titans started their pursuit of 110 and Aneurin Donald struck 16 out of 5 balls including a four and two sixes. In the fifth ball of the first over, Daniel Sams bowled a short ball which the batter inquired to knock over in the middle of the off. Udana turned to run backwards in mid-off, reached out his left hand, and delivered a miraculous one hand catch, as he continued to slide backwards. This short residence ended at the earliest opportunity, as Donald left the Champs at 16(5), and gave the team a badly needed victory.

The Titans continued with their good run chase even after the early wicket. Alex Hales (21 off 10), Rilee Rossouw (37 off 20), and captain Moeen Ali (29) assisted Titans to the mark in only 8.2 overs, and therefore ended with 112/3, which ensured a comfortable seven-wicket victory.
This blow made the woes of Royal Champs worse and set them on a losing streak of four games and kept them in the basement of the table with zero points. On the other hand, Ajman Titans ensued their successful campaign by their second win, which placed them on the mid-table competition. Udana did not wicket a single time except the catch in his one over. On the other hand, in four matches, the Sri Lankan pacer has three wickets with the economy of 12.28.
