Guwahati Cricket Stadium T20 records: Barsapara Cricket Stadium records and highest innings total T20I

Guwahati Cricket Stadium T20 records: Barsapara Cricket Stadium will be hosting its third T20I on Sunday.

The second T20I of South Africa’s second tour of India 2022 will be played in Guwahati on the day after tomorrow. With India winning the first T20I in Thiruvananthapuram on Tuesday, another win will confirm a series victory for them. South Africa, on the other hand, would be wanting to return to winning ways in a bid to keep the series alive.

Irrespective of who wins on Sunday, both fans and players would be hoping for a much better pitch at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium than it was at the Greenfield International Stadium on the day before yesterday.

In what is going to be the fourth international match at this venue, it will be the third T20I. Readers must note that India are yet to win a T20I here. The Proteas, meanwhile, will be playing their first-ever international match at this stadium.

With the second Guwahati T20I abandoned after a toss due to rain, there remains only one completed T20I here. As far as batters part of the current Indian squad are concerned, Rohit Sharma (8) and Virat Kohli (0) would want to contribute significantly higher than their performance in the inaugural T20I at this venue.
