GW vs RS Pitch Report

The surface at HRDA Sports Complex, Haridwar, is generally good for batting, with several high-scoring matches in the 2026 Uttarkashi T20 League, including a successful chase of over 190 runs. However, being an afternoon fixture, chasing may not offer any significant advantage.

The average first-innings score in the last five T20 matches at this venue is around 145 runs. Batters will need to settle in during the powerplay before accelerating in the later overs. A score of around 160 could be competitive on this surface.

Score prediction: 

If Roorkee Strikers bat first - 160-170 runs 

If Ganges Warriors bat first - 140-150 runs 

Toss: To Bat

In the last five T20 matches at this venue, chasing sides have won three times, indicating a slight advantage for teams batting second. However, scoring 160-plus could be challenging in this afternoon fixture, with pacers likely to get some assistance with the new ball. The highest successful chase at the venue is 193 runs. Both teams have previously enjoyed success batting first and may prefer to set a target after winning the toss.

Toss Prediction: Ganges to win the coin toss.
