What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
174
Completed matches: 2
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
165 - 182
Low: 165 • High: 182
Insight
Tighter scoring band
The first-innings sample has stayed inside a relatively compact scoring band, which points to a more stable venue pattern so far.
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
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
0% Bat 1st
100% 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
107 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
50% Fast / 50% Slow
Fast: 13 • Slow: 13
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+: 3 • 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.
