Venue intelligence
What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
225
Completed matches: 5
Insight
Lower scoring sample
The completed first-innings sample sits on the lower side for this format, so this ground has not consistently produced big starting totals.
1ST INNINGS RANGE
125 - 386
Low: 125 • High: 386
Insight
Wide scoring spread
The spread between the lowest and highest first innings is large, so this venue has already produced very different scoring environments.
300+ 1ST INNINGS
1
20% of completed matches
Insight
High totals are part of the record
This ground has produced 300+ first innings, but not at such a high rate that every match should be expected to follow that pattern.
250 OR BELOW
3
60% of completed matches
Insight
Lower scores occur often
A sizeable share of completed first innings have ended at 250 or below, so lower starting totals are not unusual here.
RESULT SPLIT
40% Bat 1st
60% 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
131 balls
Avg successful chase: 192 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
61% Fast / 39% Slow
Fast: 28 • Slow: 18
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
4
50+: 10
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.
