Pitch Report – Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati
The surface at Barsapara is known for its batting-friendly conditions, offering true bounce and carry that allows batters to play freely. Fast bowlers may enjoy some early movement with the new ball, but as the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow slightly — bringing spinners into the game. However, overall, it remains favorable for stroke play, suggesting a high-scoring encounter could be on the cards.
