Venue intelligence
What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
184
Completed matches: 4
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
154 - 198
Low: 154 • High: 198
Insight
Noticeable variation
The range shows some movement in scoring conditions rather than a single fixed par score.
190+ 1ST INNINGS
3
75% of completed matches
Insight
High totals show up often
A meaningful share of completed first innings have crossed 190, so substantial starting totals are a recurring part of this venue history.
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
40% Bat 1st
40% Bat 2nd • 20% NR
Insight
No strong innings skew
The win split between batting first and batting second is fairly close, so the venue sample does not point to a strong innings bias.
CHASE COMPLETION
115 balls
Avg successful chase: 117 balls
Insight
Chases usually go deeper
The successful chases in this sample have generally needed more of the innings, so the venue has not been dominated by runaway pursuits.
WICKET SPLIT
44% Fast / 56% Slow
Fast: 17 • Slow: 22
Insight
Slow bowlers lead
Slow bowlers account for the larger wicket share in this sample, so spin has carried the stronger dismissal footprint at this ground so far.
50+ SCORES
10
30+: 5 • 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.
