Barsapara Cricket Stadium Report

The Barsapara Cricket Stadium pitch in Guwahati is batting-friendly with good bounce and pace, allowing batters to play freely. Early moisture helps fast bowlers initially, but the surface generally flattens out for high scoring. Spinners get some help later, making middle overs crucial for bowlers. The average first innings score here is around 190-200 runs, suggesting balanced conditions. Teams winning toss often prefer to bowl first to assess the pitch early. Overall, expect a true wicket that favours stroke play and a competitive IND-W vs SL-W World Cup match.
