Covers 15 international matches at this ground from Oct 2017 to Jan 2026.
Big totals run through this Barsapara Cricket Stadium pitch report, built from 15 internationals in Guwahati, India, from Oct 2017 to Jan 2026: the side batting first in a men’s T20I has posted 182 on average, and in the two men’s ODIs 348.
Women’s cricket accounts for 8 of the games, while the men have played 4 T20Is, 2 ODIs and a single Test. The latest, a T20I on 25 Jan 2026, ended in an 8-wicket India win over New Zealand.
Guwahati Stadium Pitch: Batting or Bowling?
For men’s white-ball cricket, the numbers say batting. Men’s T20I second innings average 181, almost exactly the 182 posted first. Australia chased 225 here, and only India’s 237/3 against South Africa on 2 Oct 2022 has been defended. In ODIs, India chased 326 against West Indies in 2018 and made 373/7 against Sri Lanka in 2023.
The women’s games have been lower scoring and kinder to the side batting first. Women’s ODI chasers have averaged only 144, against 198 for those setting targets, and England Women defended just 119 in a T20I.
The only Test, from 22 Nov 2025, shows the usual fall-off: 489, 201, 260 and 140. Captains who win the toss nearly always bowl (12 of 15), and the toss winner has won 10 of 15.
