Barsapara Cricket Stadium Guwahati Pitch Report

The upcoming IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings at Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati, promises to be a high-scoring encounter, given the pitch’s history. Batters will enjoy playing on the pitch, as it provides true bounce and allows them to hit through the line of the ball.

The bowlers, on the other hand, will have a tough time containing the runs, as they have in previous matches. Fast bowlers may get some assistance early on with the new ball, but the spinners might be more effective in the middle overs.

Temperatures are expected to be around 27°C during the evening match, and slightly hotter earlier in the day. Overall, the weather conditions should not significantly impact the game.
