Guwahati's Barsapara Cricket Stadium is well-known for its batting-friendly pitch, particularly in white-ball cricket. The surface offers little assistance to the bowlers, creating ideal conditions for batsmen to showcase their skills.

Moreover, the presence of significant dew during the second innings can significantly impact the game, especially for matches played in the evening. The track is widely recognized as a batting paradise, allowing batters to play their shots freely without any hindrance.

Teams batting first usually aim to set a challenging total, particularly after winning the toss.
