What did the toss winner choose in JK vs KR?

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

How does the toss affect the JK vs KR match odds?

Meaningfully. Pallekele International Cricket Stadium favours batting first (chases succeed only 46% of the time here), so our model shifts the match win probability by about 2 percentage points depending on which side ends up chasing. A pre-toss match price averages both branches, so the toss result itself can create or kill value on the match market.
