Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati

Barsapara Stadium Pitch

ACA describes a 100% sand-based pitch and drainage system. For the November 2025 Test, Cricinfo reported a red-soil strip with grass, prepared to retain bounce before wear could bring spin into play.

• Pitch behaviour depends on the selected strip and format.
• Moisture, final mowing and weather can change early movement.
• The sand-based field system is intended to support drainage.
• Use recent match evidence rather than a permanent “batting” or “bowling” label.

Barsapara Cricket Stadium Weather

Guwahati can be warm and humid, and rain or bad light can affect event planning. Conditions vary by season and date, so a historical climate description is not a match-day forecast.
