Guwahati Weather Forecast, IPL 2025: Rajasthan Royals will be looking to get back to winning ways when they take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in their second fixture of the IPL 2025 season. The upcoming tie will be hosted at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on March 26. In their tournament opener last week, RR suffered a 44-run defeat to the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The 2024 IPL losing finalists batted first and set a mammoth total of 286/6. Ishan Kishan stole the show with a lightning-fast century. Dhruv Jurel kept RR’s dream alive in the second half, adding a 35-ball 70, but it just wasn’t enough to secure a victory. The Sanju Samson-led side will now aim for a win on Wednesday with hopes of making the playoff stage once again. Kolkata Knight Riders dominated the previous edition of the IPL to win their third trophy in 17 years. Their title defence, however, began with a crushing defeat to three-time finalists Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Saturday. Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine played impactful knocks to lead KKR’s attack in the first innings. The middle order couldn’t replicate a similar show, losing wickets in quick succession. Their bowling unit also failed to stem the flow of runs during the chase as Phil Salt and Virat Kohli put up crucial knocks for a seven-wicket win. Barsapara Cricket Stadium Pitch Report: The wicket at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium typically favours batters in white-ball cricket. With a capacity of around 40,000 spectators, the Guwahati-based venue is known to provide minimal assistance to bowlers. Players must also consider the dew factor in the second innings, which may influence the flow of the match. The first-ever IPL match at this stadium was played during the 2023 IPL season.

The temperatures will hover around 33 degrees Celsius during the day and 20 degrees Celsius at night. The wind speeds will range between 10 km/h and 15 km/h.
