Compare every ground we hold innings data for
Ordered by how many full scorecards we hold โ the more cards, the steadier the average. "Cards" is the matches at that ground whose complete scorecard we hold and the averages are built from them; "Fixtures" is every match we have on record there, scheduled ones included. "Formats" lists what those cards are, because an average that spans two formats spans two different games โ read it next to the mix. The 29 grounds we cannot yet average are listed under the table rather than padded with dashes.
A ground showing 0 cards with an average still listed holds a figure frozen at its last rebuild โ the matches behind it are no longer in our database, so we can no longer reproduce it from a row. It is shown as it stands rather than quietly restated.
Who scores the runs and takes the wickets

Grounds we cover but cannot average yet
These 29 grounds have pages and fixtures but no innings average, for two different reasons. We would rather name the reason than print a number we cannot stand behind.
Scorecards held, averages not yet rebuilt (17)
We hold complete cards for these grounds, but they arrived after the ground's figures were last computed. They fold in at the next rebuild.
Fixtures on record, no scorecard yet (12)
We cover matches at these grounds but hold no completed scorecard for any of them, so there is nothing to average. Their pages carry the fixtures and say exactly this.
Cricket pitch reports โ FAQs
What is a cricket pitch report?
A pitch report describes how a ground tends to play: what a first-innings total is worth there, whether that total holds up in the second innings, and who has made the runs and taken the wickets. Ours are built from the scorecards of matches we covered โ 232 full scorecards across 46 grounds. Where we hold no scorecards for a ground we say so rather than describe a surface we have not seen.
Which grounds score highest in T20 cricket?
Across the 11 grounds where every scorecard we hold is a T20 โ so nothing is being averaged against a Test or an ODI โ first-innings totals run from 121 at YSD-UKM Cricket Oval, Bangi up to 195 at Scott Page Field, Vinor, Prague. Each of those grounds has at least 3 T20 scorecards on record.
Do teams score more batting first or batting second?
At 27 of the 31 grounds where we hold both figures, the side batting first averages more. Read that as a scoring gap and not a win record: in limited-overs cricket a successful chase stops the moment the target is passed, so second-innings averages are pulled down by the wins as much as by the losses.
How many cricket grounds do you have pitch reports for?
60 grounds. 31 of them carry innings averages computed from scorecards. Of the rest, 17 have scorecards that arrived after their figures were last rebuilt and 12 have fixtures on record but no scorecard yet. Every one of the 60 still has a page, and each page says which case it is in.
Where do these pitch report numbers come from?
Our own pipeline stores the full scorecard of every match we cover, and every figure on this page is counted from those stored rows โ innings totals from the innings summary, run-scorers and wicket-takers from the batting and bowling cards. Nothing is estimated. A ground with no scorecards shows no figures rather than a guess, and our published prediction record is graded match by match.
How we build these pitch reports
- Every average comes from the scorecards of matches we covered at that ground โ 232 complete cards across 46 of the 60 grounds here. Nothing is estimated, and a ground with no scorecards shows no average rather than a guess.
- A ground's average pools every format among its cards, so a first-class innings total can sit alongside a T20 one. That is why the Formats column exists: where it reads more than one format, read the average as a blend. The T20 comparison above is the like-for-like version.
- Second-innings averages are held down by cricket itself โ a successful chase stops the moment the target is passed. Treat the gap between the two columns as a scoring gap, not evidence about who wins.
- We publish scoring averages, not toss records. We do not hold win/loss-by-toss-decision data per ground, so we do not claim one.
- Each ground carries its own last-updated date, set when its numbers were last recomputed โ see the top of any venue page.
