PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect overcast conditions in Guwahati, and rain may interrupt this game. The temperature will be around 34°C at the start of the game, and we expect the humidity to be around 77%. The batting surface will be a bit more challenging than we have seen in the past.

BBS vs GRS Pitch Report

Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati is large and not the easiest venue for scoring big. Fast bowlers get assistance from the surface early in the game. Batsmen who build their innings have done well. Spinners, who turn the ball sharply, have done well at this venue. The average first-innings score in the tournament is 149 runs, and the team batting first would like to have 180 on the board.

Toss: To Bowl

Toss has been a crucial factor in this tournament, and teams chasing the score have won the last nine out of 10 games. The conditions are challenging for batters in the second half when the track becomes slow. The side winning the toss would look to bowl first on this track.
