The Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati, also called the Dr. Bhupen Hazarika Cricket Stadium, has rapidly become a prominent venue in Indian domestic as well as international cricket, especially after becoming the second home to the inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL) champions, the Rajasthan Royals. The stadium was recently seen hosting a few matches of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026.
The venue serves a batting-friendly surface, particularly in limited-overs formats due to its flat pitches and shorter boundaries. As a result, it often witnesses high-scoring encounters and exciting finishes. In this article, let’s delve into the successful run-chases at Guwahati’s Barsapara Cricket Stadium.
