What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
291
Completed matches: 3
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
246 - 315
Low: 246 • High: 315
Insight
Noticeable variation
The range shows some movement in scoring conditions rather than a single fixed par score.
300+ 1ST INNINGS
2
67% of completed matches
Insight
High totals show up often
A meaningful share of completed first innings have crossed 300, so substantial starting totals are a recurring part of this venue history.
250 OR BELOW
1
33% of completed matches
Insight
Lower scores remain in play
While the venue has shown higher gears as well, totals of 250 or below are still present often enough to matter in the overall reading.
RESULT SPLIT
100% Bat 1st
0% 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
—
No successful chases in sample
Insight
No chase-completion sample
There are no successful chase completions in the available second-innings sample to describe how quickly targets tend to be reached.
WICKET SPLIT
72% Fast / 28% Slow
Fast: 34 • Slow: 13
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.
100+ SCORES
1
50+: 5
Insight
Centuries are in play
The venue sample includes century-level innings, so batters have shown they can convert starts into major ODI contributions here.
