Barsapara Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
Barsapara Stadium is known for being a high-scoring ground, but recent trends indicate a change in the behavior of the surface. Traditionally, the pitch is flat and has limited boundaries, often leading to scores in excess of 190–200. In the recent encounter here (RR vs CSK), the ball showed a tendency to catch. The spinners are expected to get more assistance than usual, especially with some extra bounce. Chasing has historically been the preferred option. The defending team has won only one of the last five matches here. Due to the high humidity in Guwahati, dew is almost certain to play a significant role in the game, making it difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball.

Visibility is slightly reduced to 6 km, but it should still be good enough for smooth combat in the light. Overall, the conditions indicate a good batting surface, with dew playing a decisive role later in the game, making the toss important—teams may prefer to chase in these conditions.
