Venue intelligence
What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
173
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
168 - 178
Low: 168 • High: 178
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
60% Bat 1st
20% Bat 2nd • 20% 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
117 balls
Avg successful chase: 117 balls
Insight
Chases usually go deeper
The successful chases in this sample have generally needed more of the innings, so the venue has not been dominated by runaway pursuits.
WICKET SPLIT
56% Fast / 44% Slow
Fast: 24 • 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.
