Barsapara Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The pitches at the venue have been batting friendly, resulting in a few high-scoring games in the T20 Internationals recently with both the team batting first and second crossing the 200-run mark.

In the 2023 season, we saw one team chasing and one team defending win the two matches with both the encounters being fairly high-scoring contests. The teams chasing have had a slight advantage here due to the dew setting late in the night.
