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 toss call is published in our match prediction. We make every call with the weather, the pitch and the team news in mind, including who captains. The result above shows whether the captain actually followed our predicted decision.

IND vs WI toss prediction FAQ
Who won the IND vs WI toss?
India won the IND vs WI toss and chose to field first.

India chose to field first. Our pre-toss call was field first — the captain did what we predicted.
How does the toss affect the IND vs WI match odds?
Meaningfully. Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium favours chasing (teams batting second win 55% here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 4 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.
