What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
187
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
163 - 210
Low: 163 • High: 210
Insight
Noticeable variation
The range shows some movement in scoring conditions rather than a single fixed par score.
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
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
75% Bat 1st
25% 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
116 balls
Avg successful chase: 116 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
65% Fast / 35% Slow
Fast: 26 • Slow: 14
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
9
30+: 5 • 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.
