What did the toss winner choose in KKR vs SRH?

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

How does the toss affect the KKR vs SRH 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.
