Venue intelligence
What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
151
Completed matches: 5
Insight
Competitive scoring sample
The first-innings average sits in a workable middle zone, which suggests the ground has supported competitive totals without being one-paced.
1ST INNINGS RANGE
122 - 173
Low: 122 • High: 173
Insight
Noticeable variation
The range shows some movement in scoring conditions rather than a single fixed par score.
190+ 1ST INNINGS
0
0% of completed matches
Insight
Big first innings rare
None of the completed first innings have crossed 190, so very large first-innings totals have not been a regular part of this sample.
150 OR BELOW
3
60% of completed matches
Insight
Lower scores occur often
A sizeable share of completed first innings have ended at 150 or below, so lower starting totals are not unusual here.
RESULT SPLIT
80% Bat 1st
20% Bat 2nd • 0% NR
Insight
Bat-first results lead
Batting first has produced the better share of results in this sample, although the no-result percentage still forms part of the venue record.
CHASE COMPLETION
74 balls
Avg successful chase: 74 balls
Insight
Some chases finish quickly
At least one successful chase was completed very early, which shows that not every winning pursuit here has gone deep into the innings.
WICKET SPLIT
46% Fast / 54% Slow
Fast: 22 • Slow: 26
Insight
Balanced wicket share
The wicket share is fairly even, so the venue sample does not show one bowling type dominating dismissals.
50+ SCORES
3
30+: 8 • 100+: 0
Insight
Useful batting contributions present
The venue has produced a visible set of 50-plus scores, even if truly massive individual innings have not dominated the sample.
