Venue intelligence
What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
169
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
103 - 235
Low: 103 • High: 235
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
2
50% 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
2
50% 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
50% Bat 1st
50% Bat 2nd • 0% 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
81 balls
Avg successful chase: 99 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
59% Fast / 41% Slow
Fast: 27 • Slow: 19
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.
50+ SCORES
5
30+: 10 • 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.
