Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati Pitch Report
The Barsapara pitch is usually well-balanced. First some overs: we can see excellent bounce, which can help the quick bowlers. A small layer of grass on the surface lets the ball wander about on Days 1 and 2.
The surface starts to slow down on Day 3, which gives spinners a chance to turn and grip. Overall, the pitch is quite satisfactory for batters. The bounce stays the same, so you can play with it all day long.
