Dehradun Warriors were crowned champions of the Uttarakhand Premier League (UPL) 2026 after securing a 36-run victory over Haridwar Elmas in the final at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
In the final, Dehradun Warriors captain Kunal Chandela won the toss and opted to bat first. Dehradun Warriors had also enjoyed an excellent run during the league stage, winning four of their six matches and finishing at the top of the points table on the back of a superior net run rate. The Dehradun side, which had dominated the season, produced an impressive all-round performance in the title clash to lift the Season 3 trophy. Carrying that momentum into the final, Dehradun maintained the pressure from the outset and eventually secured the honour of being crowned champions of UPL Season 3. However, the team did not get off to the best of starts, losing two key wickets with just 22 runs on the board. The pressure continued to mount, and by the time Haridwar reached 68, half of their side had already returned to the pavilion. Haridwar Elmas were eventually bowled out for 161 in 19.4 overs, handing Dehradun Warriors a convincing 36-run victory and the UPL 2026 championship title.
