The fifth match of the inaugural Uttarakhand Premier League will be played between Tehri Titans and Udhamsingh Nagar Tigers. The match will be an afternoon encounter that will take place at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Dehradun tomorrow.
Both teams will be eager to notch up their maiden win in the competition, having lost their opening round match, respectively.
Team Preview: Tehri Titans
Titans, led by former Mumbai Indians player Aditya Tare, suffered a four-wicket loss in their tournament opener. Tare, who top-scored with 39, found support in Akhil Rawat, as the pair added 62 runs for the third wicket before the former fell to current MI sensation Akash Madhwal.
Other batters managed starts but failed to power their side to a sizeable total. Apart from Harjeet Singh and Shiva Soni, no other bowler could contain their opponents. So, a disciplined bowling effort would be expected from them this time.
Team Preview: Udhamsingh Nagar Tigers
Led by Avneesh Sudha, the Udhamsingh Nagar Tigers lost the tournament opener against Dehradun Dabangs in a humiliating manner. Apart from Gaurav Joshi, all their batters failed to get going, as the side folded for 108 with five balls to spare.
Sudha and Dhanraj Sharma were the stand-out bowlers for the Tigers, as others went for plenty. Pacer Sunil Bisht would want to forget his figures and make an improved comeback.
