Pitch Report

The pitch at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati, is generally considered a batting-friendly surface. The ball will come off the bat nicely, so batters definitely want to take advantage of it. Moreover, the dimensions at this venue are also smaller, which indicates another high-scoring game on the card in this match as well. However, pacers also expect to benefit from early movement with the new ball.
