Venue intelligence
What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
159
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
122 - 209
Low: 122 • High: 209
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
1
20% 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
2
40% 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
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
80 balls
Avg successful chase: 106 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
57% Fast / 43% Slow
Fast: 25 • 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
8
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.
