Haridwar Elmas vs Tehri Titans Prediction, 5th T20 UPL 2026

Haridwar Elmas vs Tehri Titans prediction is an interesting contest in the Uttarakhand Premier League 2026, with both teams coming into the match after playing twice in the opening three days of the tournament. The 5th Match is scheduled for Friday, September 25 at 11:00 AM IST at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Dehradun.

Haridwar Elmas have made a strong start to their title-defence campaign. They opened the season by beating Nainital Tigers by two wickets after chasing 167, before defeating Rishikesh River Kings by seven wickets on September 24. Yuvraj Chaudhary played a major role in that second victory, remaining unbeaten on 68 from 47 balls as Haridwar chased 134 with 18 balls remaining.

Tehri Titans have also recovered quickly after losing their opening match to Pithoragarh Hurricanes by four wickets. They responded on September 24 by chasing 184 against Nainital Tigers and reaching 187/5 in 18.2 overs. Vijay Sharma produced the outstanding innings of the chase, smashing an unbeaten 86 from just 40 balls with 10 sixes.

Haridwar have the advantage of entering this game unbeaten, while Tehri have momentum after a high-quality run chase. The contest therefore looks much closer than the teams’ 2025 records alone might suggest.

Match Details

Haridwar Elmas Last Matches

Haridwar’s 2026 campaign has therefore started with two wins from two matches. They have shown different strengths in those victories: the first was a close chase of 167, while the second was a controlled pursuit of 134, with Yuvraj Chaudhary scoring 68 not out.

Tehri Titans Last Matches

Tehri have a 1-1 record in the 2026 season so far. Their latest performance was substantially more convincing than their opening defeat because they chased 184 with 10 balls remaining. Vijay Sharma’s unbeaten 86 from 40 balls was the defining contribution.

Haridwar Elmas Preview

Haridwar Elmas have started UPL 2026 with two consecutive victories and currently have the stronger early-season record. Their first match against Nainital Tigers required a late chase of 167, while their second match was considerably more comfortable as they restricted Rishikesh River Kings to 133/9 and chased the target in 17 overs.

The most important development for Haridwar is the form of captain and icon player Yuvraj Chaudhary. After making only 13 in the opening game, he responded with an unbeaten 68 from 47 balls against Rishikesh. His innings included five fours and four sixes and provided the stability that allowed Haridwar to recover after losing three wickets for 61.

Haridwar also have useful batting depth around Yuvraj. Saurabh Rawat contributed an unbeaten 33 from 27 balls in the Rishikesh chase, while Saurav Chauhan scored 20 from 14. The team therefore does not need one player to carry the entire innings.

Bowling has been another positive. Against Rishikesh, Dhruv Pratap Singh took two early wickets, while Janmejay Joshi also contributed with the ball. The opposition was reduced to 47/4 before eventually finishing on 133/9.

The challenge against Tehri is likely to be different. Tehri have just demonstrated their ability to chase a total above 180, and Vijay Sharma’s power-hitting means Haridwar cannot rely on simply defending a moderate total.

Haridwar’s best route to victory is likely to involve early wickets against Tehri’s top order followed by another substantial contribution from Yuvraj. Their recent ability to chase successfully also means they should be comfortable if the toss places them in a pursuit.

Tehri Titans Preview

Tehri Titans began UPL 2026 with a four-wicket defeat against Pithoragarh Hurricanes, but their response against Nainital was emphatic. Chasing 184, they reached 187/5 in only 18.2 overs, winning with ten balls remaining.

The standout was wicketkeeper-batter Vijay Sharma, who struck 86 not out from 40 deliveries. His ten sixes underline the attacking ceiling available to Tehri when their middle order gets set. Ayush Deswal also made 26 from 14 balls, while Aryan Sharma added 34 from 32.

Tejasvi Jaiswal, the team’s icon player and leader, contributed 21 from 16 balls at the top of the chase. The combination of Tejasvi’s ability to provide a platform and Vijay’s finishing power gives Tehri a clear batting structure.

The bowling unit has shown more mixed results. Against Nainital, Tehri conceded 183/7, although the bowlers did take five wickets. Anmol Shah and Aryan Sharma were among those used during the chase, while the team also has several all-round options in the squad.

The main question is whether Tehri can control Haridwar’s batting more effectively than they controlled Nainital’s. Haridwar have already shown that they can chase totals successfully, and Yuvraj is coming off an unbeaten half-century.

Tehri’s tactical priority should therefore be early wickets. If they can remove Yuvraj and Saurabh Rawat before the middle overs, the balance of the game could change quickly. If those batters remain, Haridwar have enough recent evidence of efficient chasing to make another successful pursuit possible.

Head-to-Head

Last 5 Head-to-Head Matches

In that 2025 meeting, Tehri were bowled out for 129 before Haridwar reached 130/5 in 18.4 overs. The result gives Haridwar a 1-0 historical advantage in the UPL meetings between the sides, although the relevance of that result is limited because both franchises have different squads in 2026.

The much more important evidence for this fixture is current-season form. Haridwar are 2-0, while Tehri are 1-1 after their opening two matches.

Weather Report

The current hourly forecast for Dehradun around the scheduled start indicates approximately 24°C, 68% humidity, an around 9% rain chance and wind near 8 km/h.

The rain probability is not high enough to make weather the central factor in the prediction, although a brief shower remains possible. The relatively humid morning could give the seamers some assistance early, while any interruption would introduce a potential DLS factor.

Toss Prediction & Strategy

If Haridwar Elmas wins the toss

Haridwar could choose to bowl first, particularly because their bowling attack has already shown an ability to restrict opponents and their batting unit has successfully chased in both early-season matches. Chasing also allows Yuvraj and the middle order to know the required rate from the start.

If Tehri Titans wins the toss

Tehri could also prefer to bowl first. Their latest victory came while chasing 184, and Vijay Sharma’s power-hitting gives them confidence in a pursuit. Taking early wickets would be particularly important against Haridwar’s in-form top order.

Toss Prediction

Predicted toss winner: Haridwar Elmas

The prediction is only marginal because both sides have shown successful chasing performances in the opening round of the tournament.

Score Prediction

Winning Chances

Why the Win Percentage?

The main reason for the narrow 55-45 split is Haridwar’s stronger current record. They have already won twice in this season and have successfully chased in both games.

The second factor is bowling control. Haridwar reduced Rishikesh to 133/9, whereas Tehri conceded 183/7 to Nainital before producing an excellent chase.

However, the margin is deliberately narrow because Tehri have shown substantial batting firepower. Vijay Sharma’s 86 not out from 40 balls, including 10 sixes, means Tehri can overturn the matchup if their batting reaches the same level again.
