Haridwar Elmas vs Dehradun Warriors Prediction – UPL T20 2026 Final
Haridwar Elmas vs Dehradun Warriors prediction for the UPL T20 2026 Final points towards a closely contested match between two teams that have already produced contrasting results during the tournament. Dehradun Warriors have shown strong batting firepower, while Haridwar Elmas have also had an impressive start to their campaign with three wins from their first five completed matches.
The two sides met on September 29 in a 10-over match, with Dehradun Warriors winning by 24 runs after scoring 108/7 and then bowling Haridwar Elmas out for 84. Ayush Chauhan’s 35 off 20 balls and Nishu Patel’s four-wicket spell were particularly important in that result.
Haridwar Elmas, however, have shown that they can build and chase substantial totals. They began the tournament by chasing 167 against Nainital Tigers, then chased 133 against Rishikesh River Kings and 169 against Tehri Titans. Yuvraj Chaudhary, Daksh Awana and Saurabh Rawat have all made useful contributions during the campaign.
Dehradun Warriors have also demonstrated significant batting depth. Their 204/5 against USN Indians included 70 from Kunal Chandela, 62 from Sanskar Rawat and an unbeaten 45 from Neeraj Rathour. They followed that with 136/5 in 10 overs against Pithoragarh Hurricanes, with Ayush Chauhan striking 43 from only 13 balls.
The final should therefore come down to which side handles the powerplay and middle overs more effectively. Haridwar will need a much better batting performance against Dehradun’s pace attack than they managed in their most recent meeting, while the Warriors will need to contain Haridwar’s experienced top order.

| 25 Sep 2026 | Rishikesh River Kings | Lost | 129/10 | 185/5 | Lost by 56 runs |
Dehradun have won three of their four matches. Their recent batting numbers are particularly impressive, with 204/5 in 20 overs followed by 108/7 and 136/5 in two 10-over games.
Haridwar Elmas Preview
Haridwar Elmas started the 2026 UPL campaign strongly, winning their first three completed matches. They chased 167 against Nainital Tigers, 133 against Rishikesh River Kings and 169 against Tehri Titans, demonstrating that the batting unit can handle different chase situations.
Yuvraj Chaudhary has been one of the team’s most important batting options. He made an unbeaten 68 from 47 balls against Rishikesh River Kings, while Saurabh Rawat contributed an unbeaten 33. Against Nainital Tigers, Daksh Awana provided the major contribution with 74 from 55 balls.
Haridwar also have several players capable of contributing in multiple phases. The 2026 squad includes Yuvraj Choudhary, Shashwat Dangwal, Saurabh Rawat, Janmejay Joshi, Saurav Chauhan, Abhay Chhetri, Dhruv Pratap Singh, Kunal Veer Singh, Rakshit Rohi, Siddharth Gupta, Rakshit Dalakoti, Mayank Mudila, Daksh Awana, Sachin Yadav, Priyank Singh, Himanshu Sony, Durgesh Bhatt, Sagar Rathi, Mohammad Zaid and Rahul.
The major concern is recent momentum. Haridwar lost to Dehradun and USN Indians on September 29, and the defeat against Dehradun was particularly damaging because they were dismissed for only 84. Their middle order will need to provide greater resistance if Dehradun’s opening bowlers strike early.
For Haridwar, the key requirement is a stable start. If Yuvraj Chaudhary, Daksh Awana or Saurabh Rawat can establish a partnership, the team has enough batting depth to build a competitive final total.
Dehradun Warriors Preview
Dehradun Warriors have produced some of the strongest batting performances of UPL 2026. Their 204/5 against USN Indians was built around Kunal Chandela’s 70 from 50 balls, Sanskar Rawat’s 62 from 33 and Neeraj Rathour’s unbeaten 45 from 25.
They then scored 136/5 from 10 overs against Pithoragarh Hurricanes. Ayush Chauhan was the standout performer with 43 from only 13 balls, while Sanskar Rawat made 36 from 17 and Kunal Chandela scored 34 from 18.
Kunal Chandela remains the central figure at the top of the order. Sanskar Rawat provides another aggressive batting option, while Neeraj Rathour and Ayush Chauhan give the side additional scoring power.
The bowling attack has also produced decisive moments. Nishu Patel took 4/13 from two overs against Haridwar in the September 29 meeting, while Aditya Rawat claimed 3/9. Devendra Singh Bora had earlier taken 3/10 against USN Indians.
The main question for Dehradun will be whether they can maintain their aggressive batting approach over a full 20-over final. Their recent 10-over games have naturally encouraged high scoring rates, but a final requires control as well as aggression.
Their advantage is that they have already defeated Haridwar in their most recent meeting. The challenge will be to repeat that bowling discipline against a Haridwar side that has previously chased totals of 160-plus successfully.

Toss Prediction & Strategy
If Haridwar Elmas wins the toss
Haridwar should consider bowling first. Chasing has been successful in a substantial proportion of the broader venue sample, and the team has already demonstrated that it can chase totals in the 160s during this tournament.
The bigger objective would be to prevent Dehradun from exploiting the powerplay. If Haridwar can keep Kunal Chandela and Sanskar Rawat under control early, the pressure on Dehradun’s middle order increases.
If Dehradun Warriors wins the toss
Dehradun can also consider bowling first, particularly because their attack recently dismissed Haridwar for 84. The Warriors could then use their aggressive batting order to chase a target with a clear scoreboard reference.
Toss Prediction
Predicted toss winner: Dehradun Warriors
The toss itself remains unpredictable, but Dehradun’s recent tactical success against Haridwar makes them a reasonable side to back for the toss prediction.
Score Prediction
| Batting-First Scenario | Projected Score |
|---|---|
| Haridwar Elmas batting first | 158–170 |
| Dehradun Warriors batting first | 164–177 |
Winning Chances
| Team | Winning Probability |
|---|---|
| Haridwar Elmas | 46% |
| Dehradun Warriors | 54% |
Why the Win Percentage?
| Factor | Haridwar Elmas | Dehradun Warriors | Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batting | Strong top order | Strong top order and recent high scores | Dehradun Warriors |
| Bowling | Capable wicket-takers | Recent success against Haridwar | Dehradun Warriors |
| All-round depth | Good | Good | Even |
| Recent form | Mixed | Strong | Dehradun Warriors |
| Powerplay | Can be aggressive | Very aggressive | Dehradun Warriors |
| Venue suitability | Strong record at venue | Strong record at venue | Even |
| H2H | Lost latest meeting | Won latest meeting | Dehradun Warriors |
| Player availability | Current squad available | Current squad available | Even |
The main reason for the narrow Dehradun advantage is recent evidence rather than historical reputation. The Warriors have defeated Haridwar in their latest meeting, scored 204/5 against USN Indians and then produced another strong 136/5 in 10 overs against Pithoragarh Hurricanes.
Haridwar’s case is built around their ability to chase. Their victories over Nainital Tigers, Rishikesh River Kings and Tehri Titans demonstrate that their batting can recover from difficult situations and chase substantial targets.
Key Player Matchups
| Matchup | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Yuvraj Choudhary vs Nishu Patel | Yuvraj is one of Haridwar’s key batting options, while Nishu’s 4/13 against Haridwar makes this an important potential battle. |
| Kunal Chandela vs Haridwar new-ball bowlers | Chandela has been scoring quickly at the top and needs to survive the initial overs to give Dehradun a strong platform. |
| Sanskar Rawat vs Haridwar’s pace attack | Rawat’s 62 from 33 and 36 from 17 show how quickly he can change the scoring rate if he settles in. |
Dehradun vs Haridwar Match Prediction
Predicted winner: Dehradun Warriors
Dehradun Warriors enter this matchup with a small statistical edge because of their recent batting output, their latest 24-run victory over Haridwar and the effectiveness of their bowling attack in that meeting. Kunal Chandela, Sanskar Rawat and Neeraj Rathour give them a strong batting core, while Nishu Patel provides a recent wicket-taking threat.
Haridwar Elmas remain capable of overturning that assessment. Their earlier tournament wins and successful chases show that they have enough batting depth to compete if their top order survives the powerplay.
