[WATCH] Abu Dhabi T10 2025: Isuru Udana's stunning one-handed running catch has Aneurin Donald walk back

In the 15th match of the ongoing Abu Dhabi T10 tournament, Isuru Udana produced one of the most spectacular fielding moments of the 2025 season, pulling off a brilliant one-handed running catch to dismiss opener Aneurin Donald. The Ajman Titans went on to defeat the Royal Champs by seven wickets, but it was Udana’s brilliance early in the chase that caught attention.

The contest featured two teams coming off contrasting results. Ajman Titans entered the match with a win, while Royal Champs were desperate to break their losing streak, having suffered three successive defeats. Titans chose to bowl first, and while their bowlers kept things in check, the game’s standout moment came in the opening over of the Titans’ chase when Udana displayed emphatic skill in the outfield.

Chasing 110 for victory, Titans started with Aneurin Donald smashing 16 off just five balls, including a four and two sixes. However, Daniel Sams, on the fifth ball of the first over, delivered a short ball that the batter attempted to hit over mid-off. Udana sprinted backwards from mid-off and stretched out his left hand, and plucked a stunning one-handed catch while still moving backwards. Donald’s short stay ended at 16(5), giving the Champs a much-needed breakthrough.
