How we made this England vs West Indies 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 result above shows whether the captain actually followed our predicted decision.

ENG vs WI toss prediction FAQ

Who won the ENG vs WI toss?

England won the ENG vs WI toss and chose to field first.

What did the toss winner choose in ENG vs WI?

England chose to field first. Our pre-toss call was field first — the captain did what we predicted.

How does the toss affect the ENG vs WI match odds?

Meaningfully. Eden Gardens favours chasing (teams batting second win 59% here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 6 percentage points depending on which side ends up chasing — with evening dew adding to the chase advantage under lights. A pre-toss match price averages both branches, so the toss result itself can create or kill value on the match market.
