RR vs MI, Barsapara Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
MI vs RR Match Pitch Report: The pitch at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati—where the 13th match of IPL 2026 between the Rajasthan Royals (RR) and the Mumbai Indians (MI) is scheduled to be played today—is expected to be favorable for batsmen. Its surface is flat and hard, ensuring true bounce for the ball. Dew plays a significant role in evening matches at this venue; grip on the ball diminishes for spinners during the second innings, making chasing a target the more advantageous option.
Constructed from red soil, this pitch is quite firm and could prove to be 'excellent' for top-order batsmen like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma—particularly if the bowlers err in judging their line and length. Fast bowlers tend to enjoy a slight advantage during the initial stages (taking 35 wickets compared to 23 by spinners in recent matches); however, due to the short boundaries, runs are scored at a rapid pace.
In recent T20 matches held here, the average first-innings score has hovered between 158 and 161; notably, out of the 7 IPL matches played at this venue, 3 have been won by the teams batting first.
