IPL 2026: RR vs MI Pitch Report
The pitch at Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati is known for its batting-friendly surface, where the ball comes nicely onto the bat. However, fast bowlers are likely to get a little help at the start because of the recent cloudy weather and light moisture, but batting will be easy as the game progresses.
In the last five games, the average total at this venue is around 161, but both MI and RR teams playing have strong attacking batters, so they can easily score over 180 runs.
Key points –
Average first innings score: 170–190 Winning total: 190+ Lowest defendable score: Under 170 Bat first wins: 40% Bowl first wins: 60%
The temperature will drop to around 19°C–21°C during the match time, but humidity will be more than 90% during the match, which means there will be heavy dew, especially in the second innings. So, team chasing would have a clear advantage in these conditions.
