On Sunday, India will face New Zealand in the third T20I of the five-match series. This exciting clash will be played at the Barsapara Stadium in Guwahati on Sunday, January 24. So far, India have completely dominated the series and are leading 2-0, which puts them in a very strong position going into this match.

In the previous game, the Indian team put on a brilliant performance and outplayed New Zealand in all departments. Under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, India looked confident and fearless.

In particular, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav made batting look very easy, as they scored freely and did not allow the New Zealand bowlers to settle. As a result, India registered a comfortable win and extended their lead in the series.

On the other hand, New Zealand are under pressure after losing the first two matches. Although players like Rachin Ravindra and captain Mitchell Santner showed some fight in the last game, their efforts were not enough to stop India. Now, as they enter the third T20I, the Kiwis will be desperate to avoid a series defeat.

Therefore, they will be looking to put up a much stronger performance and challenge the hosts in Guwahati.

As both teams prepare for this important match, let us take a closer look at how the pitch and weather conditions at Barsapara Stadium could influence the game.

(Barsapara Stadium Guwahati T20I records)

The pitch at Barsapara Stadium is generally known to be batting-friendly. Because of this, fans can expect a high-scoring match, especially in T20 format. The surface usually offers no real  movement for pacers.

In the early stages of the match, fast bowlers may get a little bit of swing with the new ball. However, this movement is likely to last only for the first two or three overs. After that, the pitch tends to settle down, making life easier for the batters. As a result, pacers will need to rely more on variations rather than speed alone.

Meanwhile, spinners are not expected to get much help from the surface. There is usually little to no turn available, which means spinners must bowl very accurately to avoid being hit for big runs. So far, four T20I matches have been played at this venue, with an average run rate of 9.91, which clearly shows how good the pitch is for batting.

Interestingly, teams winning the toss often prefer to bowl first here. This is because chasing teams have won two out of the four matches played at this ground. Therefore, the captain winning the toss may choose to field and take advantage later while chasing.
