Match Details

This much-anticipated clash will be held in Guwahati, Assam at Judges Field, a historic ground established in 1908. The venue is known for hosting competitive local and domestic matches.

Date & Time: 5th August, 09:30 PM BST (Local Time)

Streaming Platform: Toffee

Venue Capacity: Approximately 5,000 spectators

Owner & Home Team: Gauhati Town Club

Floodlights: Not available

With no floodlights at the venue, the game will still be played in evening conditions, which may slightly favor bowlers due to lower visibility and potential dew factors.

Pitch Report: What to Expect

The Judges Field pitch has been fairly sporting in nature. Teams that batted first have had better success here, thanks to the surface offering some assistance to fast bowlers early on.

In the beginning, pacers can extract bounce and movement, making it challenging for top-order batters. As the match progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, allowing spinners to come into play. Their ability to grip the ball and get extra bounce could be decisive, especially in the middle overs.

Overall, it’s a bowling-friendly surface, and any team posting a total above 160 could feel confident.

Weather Conditions

The weather in Guwahati during the match is expected to be:

Temperature: Around 31°C

Humidity: Close to 81%, which might lead to some sweat and discomfort for players

Wind Speed: 13 km/h – enough to assist bowlers slightly

Cloud Cover: 45% – not enough to impact play, but may affect lighting conditions slightly

Players will need to stay hydrated and manage their stamina well, especially with such high humidity levels.
