Barsapara Cricket Stadium Report

The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is renowned for its batting-friendly surface, offering good bounce and carry in the early stages, which allows batters to play their shots confidently. Pacers may find some early assistance with movement, especially if there is cloud cover, but as the game progresses, the pitch flattens out and favours stroke-making. Spinners tend to come into play during the middle overs as the surface slows down slightly, though it generally remains advantageous for batting throughout the contest. Recent matches at this venue have seen high scores, and teams batting second have managed competitive totals, highlighting the run-scoring potential at this ground.
