Rajasthan Royals will take on Chennai Super Kings at their second home in Guwahati on Sunday, March 30, in what promises to be a high-stakes clash. Both teams are looking to bounce back after suffering significant defeats in their previous encounters. Rajasthan Royals were handed a heavy loss by Kolkata Knight Riders, while Chennai Super Kings struggled against their arch-rivals Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Chepauk.
CSK started their IPL 2025 campaign with a victory but will be eager to get back to winning ways after their recent setback. Meanwhile, RR is yet to secure a win this season, having lost both their matches so far. With this being their final match in Guwahati before shifting back to their primary home ground, they will be determined to finish on a high and open their account in the points table.
The match is expected to be a thrilling contest, with both teams desperate for a win. The conditions at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati will play a crucial role in determining the outcome.
Pitch and Weather Report
The last game at this venue saw significant assistance for spinners throughout both innings, with early swing also playing a role. Unlike some other venues, Guwahati hasn't seen much dew, which means the bowlers—particularly spinners—will remain effective throughout the match. It remains to be seen whether the pitch for this game will be on the flatter side or if it will continue to assist bowlers.
Weather-wise, there will be around 33% cloud cover, but the chances of rain are minimal. The temperature at the toss (7 PM IST) is expected to be around 30°C, with conditions likely to get cooler as the match progresses. However, high humidity levels may test the endurance of players.
With two strong teams battling for momentum in IPL 2025, fans can expect an exciting contest under the lights in Guwahati.
