Sawai Mansingh Stadium: Pitch report for RR vs SRH, IPL 2026

 

The pitch at Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati is generally a well-balanced surface that provides opportunities for both batters and bowlers. The ground has fairly big straight boundaries, which makes clearing the ropes a bit challenging at times. 

 

Spinners tend to come into play during the middle overs as the pitch starts offering grip and turn. Fast bowlers can also find some early movement with the new ball, especially under overcast or humid conditions. While it can support high-scoring matches, it is often slightly more helpful to bowlers compared to other IPL venues. The average first-innings score here is around 167 runs.
