What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
139
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
82 - 173
Low: 82 • High: 173
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.
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
3
60% of completed matches
Insight
Lower scores occur often
A sizeable share of completed first innings have ended at 150 or below, so lower starting totals are not unusual here.
RESULT SPLIT
20% Bat 1st
80% 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
65 balls
Avg successful chase: 101 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
39% Fast / 61% Slow
Fast: 17 • Slow: 27
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
6
30+: 9 • 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.
