Venue intelligence
What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
164
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
132 - 182
Low: 132 • High: 182
Insight
Noticeable variation
The range shows some movement in scoring conditions rather than a single fixed par score.
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
1
20% of completed matches
Insight
Lower scores remain in play
While the venue has shown higher gears as well, totals of 150 or below are still present often enough to matter in the overall reading.
RESULT SPLIT
80% Bat 1st
20% Bat 2nd • 0% NR
Insight
Bat-first results lead
Batting first has produced the better share of results in this sample, although the no-result percentage still forms part of the venue record.
CHASE COMPLETION
99 balls
Avg successful chase: 99 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
52% Fast / 48% Slow
Fast: 25 • Slow: 23
Insight
Balanced wicket share
The wicket share is fairly even, so the venue sample does not show one bowling type dominating dismissals.
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.
