IPL 2024: Barsapara Cricket Stadium Guwahati Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, T20 & IPL Records & Stats

The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Assam, officially known as Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Cricket Stadium, is gearing up to host several matches during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. Since its establishment in 2012, this venue has become a notable cricketing destination, having hosted international matches across various formats, including 2 One Day Internationals, 4 T20 Internationals, and 2 IPL matches to date.

Currently serving as the home ground for the Indian cricket team, the Assam state team, and the IPL franchise Rajasthan Royals (RR), the stadium is set to host RR's home matches after the initial five games at their primary venue in Jaipur. Specifically, the ACA stadium will see action in May for two matches following RR's engagements at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium (SMS) during March and April.

The pitch at Barsapara Cricket Stadium has been conducive to high-scoring encounters, especially in T20 Internationals, with teams both batting first and second surpassing the 200-run mark. The 2023 season witnessed competitive scoring with one team successfully chasing and another defending their total under conditions slightly favoring the side batting second due to dew factors.

Weather forecasts for May in Guwahati predict cloudy days with potential thunderstorms, particularly on match days. Temperatures are expected to range between a maximum of 35°C and a minimum of 26°C on May 15, with a slight dip to a maximum of 32°C on May 19. Rain could play a role in the proceedings, especially in the second match with a higher likelihood of interruptions.
