How we made this AUS vs ENG toss prediction

We do not predict who wins the coin flip itself; that is genuinely 50/50. We predict what the toss winner will choose to do. For this match, our pre-toss call was made in the article body before the toss happened. The receipt above shows whether the captain actually followed our predicted decision.

For the full methodology โ€” venue toss patterns, dew, and captaincy psychology โ€” see our toss prediction model.
