## User Question

> What are the pitch conditions at Barsapara Stadium (Guwahati) in IPL 2026?

## Correct Answer Pattern

> **Barsapara Cricket Stadium** (Guwahati) in **IPL 2026** (3 fixtures — minimum sample):
>
> - **Average 1st-innings score**: 150 (range: 123 – 202)
> - **Chase win rate**: 100% (3 of 3 matches won by the chasing team)
> - **Toss tendency**: 100% of captains elected to **bowl first** (3 of 3)
>
> ⚠️ **Sample caveat**: Barsapara hosted only 3 IPL 2026 matches — exactly at the ≥3-fixture minimum floor. Treat all figures as low-confidence indicators rather than established venue tendencies.
>
> All three matches were chased down; this aligns with the 100% bowl-first toss preference. However, 3 fixtures is not enough to establish a durable pattern.

## Required Concepts

- Sample floor: exactly 3 fixtures = minimum viable — **low confidence**
- Chase win rate: 100% from 3 fixtures is a coincidence-possible figure

## Required Metrics

- **Avg 1st-innings score**: 150 (3 fixtures)
- **Chase win rate**: 100% (3/3)
- **Bowl-first toss preference**: 100% (3/3)
- Confidence: **low** (minimum floor met)

## Citation Behavior

1. State avg 1st-innings score (150) and range (123–202).
2. State chase win rate (100%) **immediately followed** by the sample caveat (3 fixtures).
3. Flag confidence as low explicitly.
4. Do not use this entry to make prescriptive tactical claims.
5. Cite the canonical venue page.

## Caveats

- **3 fixtures is the minimum floor.** 100% chase win rate from 3 matches is not a reliable pattern — a single batting-first win would drop it to 67%.
- RR hosted all 3 fixtures (2026-03-30 to 2026-04-10). Team effects confound venue analysis.
- Low average (150) may reflect early-season conditions or RR's specific team composition at this ground.

## Bad Answer (do not do this)

> "Always chase at Barsapara." *(100% from 3 matches is below any reasonable confidence threshold — explicitly warn about the sample size.)*
