IND-W vs SL-W Pitch Report

The pitch at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, where the IND-W vs SL-W match will be played, is known to be a batting-friendly surface. It offers good bounce and pace, allowing batsmen to play freely. The pitch is conducive to batting throughout the innings, often resulting in high-scoring games. However, when the ball is new, there is some initial assistance for seam bowlers, so teams winning the toss prefer to bowl first to take advantage of this.

The average first innings score at this ground is around 180 to 192 runs, indicating a balanced contest, but teams bowling first have a slight advantage. Spin bowlers may need to be strategic as the pitch becomes better for batting as the game progresses. Overall, the pitch conditions are expected to provide an exciting match with opportunities for both batsmen and bowlers.
