IPL 2025: Barsapara Cricket Stadium, Guwahati Pitch Report & Key Stats Ahead of RR vs KKR Match

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the sixth match of IPL 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati on March 26. The game is set to begin at 7:30 PM (IST), and both teams will be looking to build momentum early in the tournament.

The pitch at Barsapara Cricket Stadium is generally good for batting, with an average first-innings score of 180. The surface offers even bounce, allowing batters to play their shots freely. However, bowlers, especially pacers, might get some early movement under the lights. Spinners could also play a role as the game progresses. The highest total recorded here is 199, showing that big scores are achievable, but the highest successful chase is only 145, indicating that defending totals has been easier.

Out of the three IPL matches played at this venue, teams batting first have won twice, while chasing sides have won once. The trend suggests that captains winning the toss might prefer to set a target rather than chase under pressure. Given the conditions, anything above 180 could be a challenging total to chase down.

Rajasthan Royals might have an edge, as they are more familiar with the conditions at Guwahati, which has served as one of their home venues. However, KKR’s aggressive batting lineup could pose a strong challenge if they get a good start. The team that handles the pressure better under lights is likely to come out on top.
