What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
173
Completed matches: 6
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
156 - 219
Low: 156 • High: 219
Insight
Noticeable variation
The range shows some movement in scoring conditions rather than a single fixed par score.
190+ 1ST INNINGS
1
17% of completed matches
Insight
High totals are part of the record
This ground has produced 190+ first innings, but not at such a high rate that every match should be expected to follow that pattern.
150 OR BELOW
0
0% of completed matches
Insight
Few lower-end totals
No completed first innings have finished at 150 or below, so the venue has largely stayed clear of the lower-end band in this sample.
RESULT SPLIT
17% Bat 1st
83% Bat 2nd • 0% NR
Insight
Bat-second results lead
Batting second has produced the better share of results in this sample, though it is still a venue read rather than a fixed rule.
CHASE COMPLETION
96 balls
Avg successful chase: 112 balls
Insight
Chases have room to spare
Successful chases at this venue have often been completed with some room left, rather than only in last-over finishes.
WICKET SPLIT
77% Fast / 23% Slow
Fast: 54 • Slow: 16
Insight
Fast bowlers lead
Fast bowlers account for the larger wicket share in this sample, which gives pace the stronger dismissal footprint at this ground so far.
50+ SCORES
9
30+: 16 • 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.
