Venue intelligence
What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
191
Completed matches: 25
Insight
Strong scoring base
Completed first innings have generally landed at a strong level for this format, so the venue has already shown it can sustain substantial totals.
1ST INNINGS RANGE
132 - 261
Low: 132 • High: 261
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
11
44% 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
8% 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
56% Bat 1st
44% 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
77 balls
Avg successful chase: 103 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
56% Fast / 44% Slow
Fast: 157 • Slow: 125
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
55
30+: 51 • 100+: 5
Insight
Big batting scores recorded
This sample already includes multiple century-level innings, so the ground has shown that truly major individual batting scores are possible here.
