What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
183
Completed matches: 5
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 - 199
Low: 165 • High: 199
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
2
40% of completed matches
Insight
High totals are part of the record
This ground has produced 190+ first innings, but not at such a high rate that every match should be expected to follow that pattern.
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
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
92 balls
Avg successful chase: 105 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: 19 • Slow: 19
Insight
Balanced wicket share
The wicket share is fairly even, so the venue sample does not show one bowling type dominating dismissals.
50+ SCORES
10
30+: 6 • 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.
