Next up is match no 8 of IPL 2023 to be played between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings. The match will take place at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, Assam and this would be the first-ever IPL match at this venue. Let’s take a look at the pitch behavior at this venue in T20s.
The upcoming IPL match between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings at Barsapara Stadium, Guwahati, promises to be a high-scoring encounter, given the pitch’s history. Batters will enjoy playing on the pitch, as it provides true bounce and allows them to hit through the line of the ball.
The bowlers, on the other hand, will have a tough time containing the runs, as they have in previous matches. Fast bowlers may get some assistance early on with the new ball, but the spinners might be more effective in the middle overs.

As for the weather, Guwahati is likely to experience scattered thunderstorms, but it’s expected that the match will go ahead without any hindrance. Temperatures are expected to be around 27°C during the evening match, and slightly hotter earlier in the day. Overall, the weather conditions should not significantly impact the game.
This is the first time an IPL match will be played at this venue. However, if we talk about T20I records at this venue, 3 matches have been played so far and we witnessed three different outcomes. A win for team batting first, a win for team batting second and a no result.
Considering the pitch and weather conditions, both teams will be aware of the need to put up a strong batting performance to have a chance of winning. However, with the unpredictability of T20 cricket, anything can happen, and the match promises to be an exciting affair.
