Venue intelligence
What the stats suggest
Patterns from completed matches
AVG 1ST INNINGS
169
Completed matches: 6
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
128 - 215
Low: 128 • High: 215
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
2
33% 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
33% 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
50% Bat 1st
50% Bat 2nd • 0% NR
Insight
No strong innings skew
The win split between batting first and batting second is fairly close, so the venue sample does not point to a strong innings bias.
CHASE COMPLETION
60 balls
Avg successful chase: 91 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
47% Fast / 53% Slow
Fast: 24 • Slow: 27
Insight
Balanced wicket share
The wicket share is fairly even, so the venue sample does not show one bowling type dominating dismissals.
50+ SCORES
10
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.
